This is a picture book read in horizontal fashion on my Kindle Fire. It is just as the original two page spread and not double text like some. As a reader of children's books on my device I much prefer this format.

Meiling is is a rude little duck but through a trip to the village with her houseshold's boy she learns to incorporate some manners in her own actions. It is a good story and great illustrations. There is also a parents guide with questions at the end to help teach our own little ones manners and charitability. Then after that is a page with some details orthodox Asian culture and festivals. Very educational.
