Multi Cultural Learning October 28, 2008 Reviewer: Mark Maguire from Langhorne, PA United States   I think there is a lot of misunderstaning about China.  Books like this help promote better communication and appreciate other countries culture.  It is a great way to introduce this to children and is enjoyable for adults as well.

Great Fable October 22, 2008 Reviewer: JoAnna from Monrovia, CA    This is an enjoyable story in Chinese and English similar to Aesops Fables.  As with all good fables, it makes a point about the difference between the small well and the big world in an engaging manner.  The art work is very good and goes along with the story very well.  I think the book is wonderful.

IP Book Reviewers - THE FROG IN THE WELL October 9, 2008 Reviewer: Bettie Corbin Tucker from IP Book Reviewers   Although this is a delightful children's book, recommended for ages five and up, adults should take advantage of the unique presentation to share a special learning and sharing time with the younger generation. My eight year old granddaughter loved the storyline and insisted that we learn the Chinese together.  She plans to take it to school and share it with her teacher. A future artist, she found the illustrations to be captivating. The storyline is easily understood, age appropriate, well-written and will stimulate young minds to consider the status of both the frog in the well and the turtle in the vast ocean when considering their own lives and the opportunities they have before them.  There is an ocean of knowledge to investigate that is outside the confines and happiness found in a well if one chooses to listen to others and broaden his or her cultural experiences. We can all be embarrassed by what we think we know, just ask the frog in the well. Was this review helpful to you?

Chinese Rocks! August 20, 2008 Reviewer: Matthew Feliciano age 7 from Reader Views   The Frog in the Well is a good book to read because if you want to try to start learning a new foreign language, it is also written in Chinese, not just English. I thought that it was really cool to actually read a book in Chinese. It was a little confusing because it was in a different language but once we started to read a little further I understood. The story of The Frog in the Well was about a little frog that lived in a well. He thought he was the best frog because he knew everything. Then one day a sea turtle came to visit him. The frog asked the turtle to come in the well but the turtle asked the frog why he didn't go in the sea. When the frog told the turtle he knew everything, the turtle told the frog there was a whole sea full of new things. This taught the frog he had a lot of learning to do and that he wasn't the smartest or the best. At the end of the story, I wanted to read it again. I thought  The Frog in the Well, by Irene Y. Tsai, was really cool. Was this review helpful to you?
