Description
 
The Frog in the Well
Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
Hard Cover. 36 pages.


"The frog in the well" is a Chinese idiom to describe a narrow-minded person.  If a person is like "the frog in the well," then he thinks he knows a lot.  If a person is like the turtle, then he knows there is an ocean of knowledge for him to learn.

Pictures are well done and great for younger children to understand the story. 

Great book to read to your children and to teach them either or both systems of Chinese.

This is a Chinese-English bilingual book with both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, along with its Zhu Yin Fu Hao and Pinyin.Both systems are phonetic notations for learning to read, write, and speak Mandarin.

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.

Artwork and Story October 21, 2008
Reviewer: B. P. from Marshalls Creek, PA United States  
Very creative artwork in bringing a story to life. The story can be seen as well as read. For learning skills this gives and added  tool for children to read and see what they are reading at the same time.

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.

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.
