5.0 out of 5 stars My first grader checked it out from the library six times!, October 26, 1999

Margaret Schneider "Pro Web Head" (South Florida) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Magic Fan (Paperback)

This is a wonderful and captivating book that my first grade son loves so much. After he checked it out from his school library for the sixth time (and I read it to him countless nights) we have bought it as a Christmas gift for him.

He loves the way the message from the fan is revealed. He also appreciates learning about another culture and a boy who does so much.

It is one of the most beautifully illustrated children's books I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Magic Fan, May 18, 2002

lynne Cox (Belhaven, nc United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Magic Fan (School & Library Binding)

This beautifully illustrated Japanese fable by Keith Baker has long been one of my favorite children's books. I am a music teacher of young children and at the end of their first grade classes with me, we turn "The Magic Fan" into a musical movie, complete with costumes, children playing instruments copying Japanese instruments, dancing girls, script, Yoshi, singing of "Sakura" (a Japanese folksong) and even the great tsunami. I have written to Keith Baker many times telling him how great this book is and how much not only my students love it, but how much they learn from it. I believe they could help Mr. Baker write a sequel to this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Generation, December 11, 2000

Lauren A Goddard (Pompton Lakes, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Magic Fan (Hardcover)

When my youngest child, now 15, was in kindergarten, I read him this wonderful book. Each year after that he took this book out of the school library the as soon as he could. He enjoyed the story, pictures and learning about another culture. Now I am buying this book for my grandson so he can enjoy this book also. My son can't wait to read it to his nephew.
