5.0 out of 5 stars
A true-to-life story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Child, Dragon Child (Reading Rainbow) (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful story about a Vietnamese child trying to adjust to life in the USA. Ut has trouble with children at school because she is different. Haven't we all been there? Angel Child, Dragon Child is very realistic. Many children are brought to the USA by their families looking for a better life for themselves and their children. Unfortunately, not all people are accepting of those that are different. Surat does a terrific job of showing how UT sees herself as both an angel child and a dragon child. This story is one that should be used in classrooms across the country. Children can learn from this book that just because people look or dress differently, does not mean they do not have the same feelings as everyone else. Surat portrays how communities and people can come together to survive life. This is a wonderful story of accepting differences in others that children and adults should read.

This review is from: Angel Child, Dragon Child (Reading Rainbow) (Paperback)
Angel Child, Dragon Child is a wonderful story about a Vietnamese child trying to adjust to life in the USA. Ut has trouble with children at school becasue she is different. Ut has difficulty speaking English and her clothes are different from what American children wear. After fighting with a boy, she is forced to sit in a room and talk to the boy. Can they work things out? This story is very realistic. Many children are brought to the USA by their families looking for a better life for themselves and their children. Unfortunately, not all people are accepting of those that are different. Surat does a teriffic job of showing how Ut sees herself as a dragon child, when she is feeling or thinking mean thoughts, and as an Angel child, when she is being kind to others. This story is one that should be used in classrooms across the country. Children can learn from this book that just because people look or dress differently, does not mean they do not have the same feelings as everyone else. By having the whole school pull together to try to raise money to bring Ut's mom over, Surat is portraying that communities and people need to work together to survive life. This is a wonderful story of accepting differences in others that children and adults should read.

Angel Child, Dragon Child,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Angel Child, Dragon Child (Reading Rainbow) (Paperback)
The "Angel Child,Dragon Child" story is about a little girl named "Nguyen Hoa" and her mom was far away in Vienam, so she had to go to a American School. The lesson it taught was that dont be scared to make changes. The Age Level is about 8 years old. I think the book was really good because it teaches alot of people how it is to change everything around you.
