4.0 out of 5 stars
A rare find,
By Daisy Ko (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empress of China: Wu Ze Tian (Hardcover)
A children's book in English (bilingual, actually) on a the only Chinese female emperor in history. This book definitely breaks stereotypes of passive Asian females. Great book for young students, especially with the lavish pictures. But I would also love to see an adult version of this book.

Lovely book for children,
By Berneal Paranay (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empress of China: Wu Ze Tian (Hardcover)
This delightful book on the only woman who served as empress in her own right in China (the later, famous Empress Dowager ruled behind her son and nephews, only) is well written and nicely illustrated. It is, however, a children's book, which I was not expecting when I ordered it. I would say that it would make a delightful gift for a young person, but it is light on information for any interested scholar.

This review is from: Empress of China, Wu Ze Tian: Written by Jiang Cheng an ; Illustrated by Xu De Yuan (Paperback)
I bought this book for my seventh grade language arts class because in California, students have to learn about ancient China. When a group of my students began reading it together, it caught their interest and they enjoyed talking about what they were learning. Reading this biography is a good way for a reader to imagine real lives during that time period.
