Reviews

I do not have a copy of this one at home but now my son has asked (Rascal, 5) has asked if we can buy it. We watched a video on YouTube of this story being read. The words on the page were out of focus but the pictures were able to be seen an enjoyed while listening to it read aloud. A Korean inspired fairy tale told as the Chinese Mirror is one to promote discussion for sure but it is also beautiful and a bit silly. I wouldn't mind owning a copy of this one for him. The story itself seems familiar which makes me wonder if it is included in one of our treasuries from Childcraft or My Book House, however, I am unsure off the top of my head.
