Beautiful drawings and clever story
I expected the real Monkey King story, but even though it is not I still found it clever and charming. The drawings are beautiful, and the translation is faithful to the cultural subtext as well as text.

Very nice adaption from the original story
Very nice adaption from the original story! I grew up reading and watching 'The Journey West'. It's a great story and I want 4 year old son to learn about it. But it's too complicated and some parts of the story is hard for a pre-schooler to understand. This book came in handy. He gets to know the character, the famous 72 transformation, and other cool tricks he can relate to. Can't wait to order other books by the same author!

Beautiful illustrations and fun story
Beautiful illustrations! I teach a kid's Kung fu class and we've been using this story as well as Li Jian's Water Dragon in the class. We build obstacle courses to be like the different tasks the Little Mondey encounters on his journey to find the Immortal One. The story adds a fun twist to the physical aspect of the Kung fu class.

It's a nice hard back book
It's a nice hard back book. We bought it for our future adopted son because it's in Mandarin characters and English.

It is nice to have both Chinese and English
It is nice to have both Chinese and English. The names get lost when translated into English. The illustrations are good. My grandson loves it. Please let me know if you have more in different parts / sections of the story.

Illustrations are quite nice and quality of the hardcover is good
Illustrations are quite nice and quality of the hardcover is good, however it’s only maybe a third of the storyline. Story is not only abbreviated but inaccurate as well. Disappointed

Good even if you don't read chinese.
No pinyin. Good story, even if you don't read Chinese it's still a good enough to hold my three year old daughter's attention.Only complaint is the the book was slightly bowed out when it arrived.
