"A wry sense of humor runs through these selections…the art is both
exquisite and appropriate to the rustic origins of these tales.
This well-crafted collection can be enjoyed on its own or as an
intriguing resource for cross-cultural studies or language-arts
units." --School Library Journal
"[Nineteen tales] maintain their centuries-old timelessness--but
with a contemporary relevance achieved through language, tone, and
illustration…it's unmistakably, traditionally Chinese, and gentle
caricatured facial expressions lend humor and whimsy…This will be a
welcome addition to a classroom set of fables from around the
world." --Booklist
"If you are more than familiar with the offerings of Aesop and
Grimm, then you will enjoy the chance to add to your repertoire
with this assortment of stories of Oriental wisdom. The 19 stories
in this lovely hardbound, four-color illustrated book are a fresh
take on some age-old ideas." --Asian Review of Books
