highly recommended

Since 1933, The Story About Ping has captivated generations of readers, but never before has it been available in a mass-market paperback format. No one can deny the appeal of the book's hero, Ping, the spirited little duck who lives on a boat on the Yangtze River. Ping's misadventures one night while exploring the world around his home form the basis of this timeless classic, which is brought to life by Kurt Wiese's warm and poignant illustrations.

Don't Take it so Seriously

People who find this book cruel are taking it too seriously. Most of all, this book has been loved by all 5 of my children. It is clever and fun, and has a happy ending. I plan to continue reading it to children and maybe someday grandchildren.

Childhood favorite - now my kids' too

Something special about this little duck who wants to avoid a punshment and winds up in more trouble than he bargained for. In the end he accepts his punshment and returns to the home he loves.

The use of language in this book is poetical. There is a beautiful rhythem to the words.

The pictures are timeless and memorable.

A Favorite of My Daughter's

I read this book to my daughter when she was a little girl and she loved it. The book is about a little duck that lives on a boat on the yellow Yantze river in China. The little duck leaves his family to go explore and finds himself in great danger, almost ending up as duck soup! He finds his way home again though, and realizes just how good it is to be "home".
