1) Paperback Book The Lost Horse: A Chinese Folktale by Voyager Books. I really liked this story. It is about how sometimes things that seem bad are really good and things that seem good are really bad. Everyone should read this book.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Lost Horse: A Chinese Folktale by Voyager Books. Efficient text, coupled with sweeping illustrations, saturate this Chinese tale of happenstance and fortuosity. Sai is a wise man living in Northern China. Having few possessions, he takes things as they happen, for better or for worse. When his valued horse gets lost, he believes it may not be a bad thing; the horse then returns with a mare. Sai finds harmony in taking the bad with the good. Young´s artwork is portrayed in subdued oils that radiate with a chalk-like appearance. Soft hues fade into another, giving an impressionistic view of the Gobi Desert. The art is often too relaxed at times; on a few pages, the texture of the canvas is plainly visible. However, tinges of life in China hundreds of years ago take form for an indelible rendering. Display this recommended book with other Chinese folk tale picture books during Chinese New Year. Although targeted for 4-6 year olds, children up to age 8 will also enjoy this book.¤ 3) Paperback Book The Lost Horse: A Chinese Folktale by Voyager Books. I found this Ed Young retelling of the traditional folktale quite simply a delight. The pictures are soft and have a mystical quality. The text is simple and concise on each page and the tale has a humor and lesson that even first graders will appreciate. The addition of the puppets is sure to delight those children who like to pursue a story farther than a shared reading with Teacher and class.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Lost Horse: A Chinese Folktale by Voyager Books. Acclaimed author-illustrator Ed Young breathes new life into the ancient Chinese folktale of a horse that brings extraordinary reversals of fortune to its trusting owner.
A timeless fable, The Lost Horse teaches of the ever-changing fortunes of life.
