Lovely children's book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boat Girl and the Magic Fish, The (Paperback)
Well written and beautifully illustrated tale for children set in southern China. The tale ends on a poignant note but along the way we learn about the ways of the Chinese fishing community and how they have to adapt to present conditions. A very well done fairytale.Amy Lin

Excellent Multicultural Children's literature,
By Evelyn Murray (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boat Girl and the Magic Fish, The (Paperback)
A really fine fairytale set in Hong Kong in which children of the land learn to accept children who are different from them. This is a very readable tale for children, probably from 7 to 12, depending on which country, etc., and the moral is excellent. The author's details on the boat people "fisherfolk" are often excellent and really bring the story to life. Both the writing and the theme are excellent.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Charming Tale,
By Paul Gorman (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boat Girl and the Magic Fish, The (Paperback)
A very pretty book, wonderful illustrations and a very charming tale. I would say for any age. And learning about Chinese traditions is a big plus.
