Dragon has a cold, so when he tries to roar, he sneezes. Phoenix reminds dragon to slow down and get some rest. Dragon struggles to rest, but his friend, Phoenix, continues to support him. 

Cheng’s story is carried by Santat’s delightful, bold illustrations. There is very little prose, but children will be delighted with the playful characters. The author's notes, at the end of the book, bring clarity to why these mythological creatures were chosen as the characters.

This is a story about Chinese mythological characters.
