This review is from: Why Ducks Sleep on One Leg (Paperback)
This delightful story creates an explanation of the observation that ducks sleep on one leg through Vietnamese culture. It combines the natural with the symbolic in its narration, beautifully illustrated. I love it and will include it in the references to the Literature and Mythology section of my next book, How to Raise Poultry, available Spring 2009, which will assist small flock owners who want the joy of keeping their own ducks. Start with a flock of chickens with How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know (How to Raise...).

"This light pourquoi tale from Vietnam will appeal to teachers in search of multicultural titles as well as to young folklore fans. . . . The Tsengs' bright, stylized illustrations are colorful and energetic, enhanding the story's humor . . ." -- School Library Journal
"Readers will linger over the illustrators' crisply defined art. . . . Elegant and funny." -- Publishers Weekly "Garland's narration is lively and clear; the Tsengs (The Seven Chinese Brothers, 1990, ALA Notable) provide vibrant watercolor double spreads . . ." -- Kirkus Reviews |
