This book is entertaining for the whole family. My four year old was as into it as my twelve year old, and my seven year old. We enjoyed learning about the tale of Chang'e. It's written really well, like a movie--excellent storytelling. Plus the illustrations are fantastic! Definitely recommend this! Very excellent book that's readable in one sitting, but you'll be rereading it a bunch.
