Third Graders Delighted by this Tale!
My third graders had really ejnoyed a cross-curricular unit on Gingerbread Men stories, so I was tickled to find a "runaway wok" story.

Terrible moral
While the drawings are adorable and the book is an easy read, the moral of this story is terrible.

Run Far Away from this Book
I do not know the political affiliations of Ying Chang Compeshine; however, the philosophy of economic distribution through class warfare is the dominating thesis of this so-called children's book.

Great illustrations, bad morals.
I'm all for giving and helping those in need, but stealing is not something I want to teach my children.

These illustrations are way my style--bright, funky, fun, filling the pages with color.
