A Chinese Wonder Book
Norman Hinsdale Pitman and Chu-T'ang Li
Why does the dog hate the cat? A golden beetle knows, and so does this collection. Norman Hinsdale Pitman retells Chinese wonder tales of the Great Bell, the strange Doctor Dog, a talking fish, and a mad goose in the tiger forest. Marvels from a storytelling tradition thousands of years deep, sized for bedtime. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
