Once upon a time in China, there was a rich man named Pang who spent all day worrying about his money, and a poor man named Li who worked on a small farm and played music on his flute in his spare time. Pang hated to hear Li's family dancing and laughing to Li's flute music, so he decided to give Li a bag of money. "If Li were rich, he would not have time to make so much noise," he thought. What will happen when Li is suddenly rich?Demi illustrates this traditional Chinese folktale picture book using Chinese brushes, paints, and inks. The fine detail enhances the simple story. Ages 3-8.
I loved this old Chinese tale about a rich man with lots of coins, and a poor man with a happy attitude. It's great to use in multicultural classrooms.
This is a story where a man learns the value of how music brings a family together more than hoarding money. It's a great lesson and the book is beautifully illustrated.
I bought this book because I love the work of Demi. This book is beautiful and special. I enjoy it very much myself, as I also enjoy reading it to my 4 year old.
