This folk tale is retold by Suzanne I. Barchers is part of the Tales of Honors series that presents traditional folk tales, myths and legends from around the world (from back cover). This tale is written for young children, K-3, is age appropriate and easy to follow. The illustrations go well with the text, show the time, culture and place well. Includes Words to know, and What do you think? sections with four questions for classroom discussion. Also a paragraph about China, about the author, and about the illustrators.
