“I admire Ping's great courage to appear before me with an empty truth and now I will reward him with my entire kingdom“.

I enjoyed reading this story because the message within the story is important for children to know. The story is all about honesty, the child in the story is rewarded because he is honest to the Emperor. This is a great example to show children a different culture of traditional literature.

This is a Chinese folk-tale about a boy named Ping who loved flowers. The Emperor of China was getting old and needed to pick a new Emperor and decided to let the flowers choose. Ping goes to tell the Emperor the seed did not grow after he tried to grow but it did not. The Emperor tried to trick Ping with bad seeds, but Ping was the only honest child so the Emperor gave Ping the Entire kingdom.

The illustrations in this book contain the use of many elements of design that help the pictures to help tell the story. There was intense red coloration on one page in particular in this book. The bright red hue allowed the reader to understand just how angry the character was feeling. The use of blank space was also present on many pages in this book, allowing for the reader to fill in the space themselves using their own words/predictions.

I believe this children's book could act as a great tool to assist in constructing and or building upon the concept of interfering, making predictions, drawing conclusions, etc. with young elementary students. The story ends without a clear coconscious as to what happened allowing the reader to use the skills previously listed to determine for themselves.

My stool creaks in the slate-gray silence. I stretch, then turn once again to stare at the partially finished canvas.
A single desk lamp bathes the picture in a soft light.
