The January 20, 2009 issue of The Asian Reporter has a nice, big review of The Day the Dragon Danced by Kay Haugaard, illustrated by Carolyn Reed Barritt. There's a picture of it featured on the front page of the paper, and a big interior shot and cover image included with the review. Nice!
"You can't get a whole lot more multicultural than this rollicking romp for Lunar New Year," the reviewer writes. "Kay Haugaard must have been a precocious girl herself, because her narrator sounds exactly like one. Carolyn Reed Barritt does more than justice to Sugar's vivacity; every one of her paintings is a knockout, from the surreal cover art to Sugar at her school desk, with the Great Wall of China and the twelve animals of Chinese astrology close at hand. Take a dragon for a dance this Lunar New Year."
