she learns that excess can be a burden and that impressing her friends is not
the same as keeping them. Full color.
Girls aged 5-8 will love
this book!, January 8, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Chicago, IL
My daughter (aged 7) identified with the Thai girl in this story, found herself
caught up in the girl's desire to dress beautifully for her friends. Then, when
the ending twist came, she wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry--but she loved
it! I recommend it for parents and grandparents to share with early elementary
aged girls (especially). the illustrations are also very colorful and appear to
be culturally accurate.
Hush! : A Thai Lullaby by Minfong Ho, Holly Meade (Illustrator)

Your children will love this story. It nicely introduces children to Thailand without boring them with facts, instead the story is wonderfully rhythmic and teaches animal sounds as it will lull your child into gentle sleep. It's Our Favorite! comments by Bjorn Andersson

The Man Who Caught Fish by Walter Lynn Krudop (Hardcover - April 2000)
Reading level: Ages 4-8
A stranger carrying only a fishing pole comes to a village in this
morality tale. Every time the pole touches water, the man brings out a fish.
"One person, one fish," he says solemnly as he evenly distributes his
catch. When the king hears of this, he wants more than his one fish. Driven by
pride, he tries tricks and torture to get the man to give him more than his
share, but in the end, the king is punished for his greed. The simplicity of the
story is complimented by the robust illustrations....
