5.0 out of 5 stars It's about treating people with repect, March 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Chin Yu Min and the Ginger Cat (Paperback)

I was sorry to hear that other readers found this book to be about making the rich evil. I did not find that at all. The moral of the story is about treating others with respect. It's about appreciating what is around you and not taking those in your life for granted. It's a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children's story about growing through hardship, December 31, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Chin Yu Min and the Ginger Cat (Paperback)

What a wonderful children's story! This book is complete
with marvelous illustrations, tells an interesting story
and teaches a valuable lesson in humanity.

At the beginning of the story, Chin Yu Min is a nasty,
regrettable woman. She wants for nothing materially and
is too pleased with herself to realize any of her other
needs. She is soon widowed with no income, and her pride
propells her into poverty. At the point of desparation,
an unlikely alliance with the ginger cat provides food
for her body and soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Book, April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chin Yu Min and the Ginger Cat (Paperback)

This is my very favorite book ever. It is absolutely brilliant and heart-warming. I am amazed that a children's book could have such an effect on a crusty old adult like myself. I read it every time I'm feeling cranky, and it makes me feel better.
