Blast from the Past!!

I remember reading this story over and over at my grandmother's home when I was a little girl. I was so thrilled that I could share this story with my own two little girls! They thought it was neat to see what "Mommy" liked when she was their ages!

The Story About Ping

This is a delightful old fashioned book. You have no worries about the content of the story. A true classic for children from a much loved author.

The Story About Ping is a nice book

[...] Anyway, "The Story About Ping" is about a family of ducks that live on a wise-eyed boat on the Yangtze river in China. One of them is fluffy, small and yellow and is named Ping. The ducks were let out of the boat everyday to fish for little things to eat. Ping always tries to make sure he's not last to get back on the boat because "last one there is a spanked duck!" One day, Ping's family got on the boat first. Ping really didn't want to be spanked so he didn't come to the boat that night. Ping has an adventure, and you could guess he came back to the boat next night, late or not. This book is exciting and Ping looks cute! You'll probably love Ping's adventures as much as I do! Oh, and did you notice that the author's last name, Flack, rhymes with quack? Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

Mixed feelings

As a kid I had a real love-hate relationship with this book!
I liked the drawings and the story, but found the whole "last duck to the boat gets spanked" thing kind of stressful. Also the fact that Ping gets captured. But I wouldn't write it off, I do consider it a classic - but maybe get this one from the library before buying it.
