"I love this gently told adventure, appropriate for even young children, and how it easily incorporates factual information into the story. Ming learns quite a bit about the army as he plays with the general, but there is even more detailed information included as well, separated from the main text by a distinctive font. The artwork is lovely, bringing the clay figures to life and capturing the intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms. Really wonderful book to introduce children to this archaeological wonder and get them excited about their next trip to the museum!" --AllDoneMonkey.com blog
