i enjoyed it...nice story...was left feeling let down at the end...think you could wait the 2 years it will take to publish this quartet...get all 4 books at one time...sit down for a long afternoon and at the end of book 4 have read a really great book about 4 friends...it feels like this was just a snippet of a larger book not a book meant to be read all on its own

the stories i mostly knew..the illustrations were very nice...did kinda feel like they were making a stretch to connect some of the illustrations with the passages they had chosen

1938 Caldecott Winner

Nice little story...a number of Chinese traditions tied in


1939 Caldecott Winner

i'm not sure how i feel about the ending

wasn't really a lot of romance...lots of suspense though
