Description

Since 1933, The Story About Ping has captivated generations of readers, but never before has it been to be had in a mass-market paperback format. No person can deny the appeal of the book’s hero, Ping, the spirited little duck who lives on a boat on the Yangtze River. Ping’s misadventures one night at the same time as exploring the world around his home form the basis of this timeless classic, which is dropped at life by Kurt Wiese‘s warm and poignant illustrations.
The tale of a little duck alone on the Yangtze River, The Story About Ping is a sweet and funny book with wonderfully rich and colorful illustrations. On a day like any other, Ping sets off from the boat he calls home with his comically large circle of relatives looking for “pleasant things to eat.” On this particular day, he’s unintentionally left at the back of when the boat leaves. Undaunted, the little duck heads out onto the Yangtze looking for his circle of relatives, only to find new friends and adventures–and a bit of peril–around each and every bend.

The exceptional illustrations bring the lush Yangtze to life, from Ping’s circle of relatives to the trained fishing birds he finds himself among to the faithfully rendered boats and fishermen. Certainly intended to be read aloud, The Story About Ping deserves a place on each and every young reader’s (or listener’s) shelf. (Picture book)
