Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, but not only for that reason we read The Tiger Prince. The story an old Chinese fairy tale with beautiful illustrations, which we love, but the story is also exciting and has an unexpected twist at the end. The beautiful drawings are created by artist / illustrator Chen Jiang Hong, in the traditional way, using ink on rice paper. A very special book!
