REVIEWED BY AASHI, 10, VIC
Aashi reviewed her own copy of this book.
James Norbury has written a fantastic story about Big Panda and Tiny Dragon. These best friends are always there for each other and help each other every day by being themselves.
Tiny Dragon and Big Panda live in a temple that had seen better days but they did not care. They had a fun and adventurous time in the temple until one day, Tiny Dragon said that he felt incomplete.
Big Panda said that it was time to go on a journey to clear some weeds by the riverbank so flowers could grow once again. Together these friends embark on a magical journey teaching them important lessons. Nothing can stop true friendship.
The book was wonderful and heartwarming. I rate it five out of five stars for it taught me many lessons. I loved reading the book and thinking about the questions that the friends asked. It was a great tale.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to choose their journey. James Norbury made this book for all ages and all the stories apply to anyone and everyone.
