Summary: The Martial Arts Inspiration!
Comment: The best thing about this book is that it doesn't talk down to children. The author is careful to point out when she is telling a popular story and when she is telling history, and for this reason I feel her writing simultainiously gives children an acurate and traditional understanding of the roots of the major Asian martial arts traditions.
Younger children will get much from the illistrations and will love to have it read to them. I teach Northern Shaolin (Kungfu)and this is the first book I've seen that makes the important connections between fighting, performing, Chinese Opera, and the Movies. It is sad that so many other books think they have to tell children that martial arts isn't about fighting. As if children would believe that anyway. Teaching children the true roots of Asian martial arts leaves plenty of room to communicate all the other important values we cherish, like appreciating great art, and reading good books.

Summary: Really, really good!
Comment: I bought this book because I have students who love Kung Fu and other martial arts. Little did I know how much I'd learn from the book and how excited I would be to share it with my students. Beautifully and respectully written.
