Ippo Keido

Horn Book (The Horn Book Guide, Spring 2004)
Keido retells several stories by Taoist philosopher Chuang-Tzu (circa fourth century B.C.E.), which demonstrate, according to the author's notes, the Taoist rejection of a narrow world view. These brief, thought-provoking tales are framed--rather artificially--with Chuang-Tzu's story of the philosopher who dreams he’s a butterfly. The occasionally awkward illustrations, set in ancient China, add atmosphere. Category: Picture Books. 2003, Tuttle, 32pp, $15.95. Ages 4 to 9. Rating: 4: Recommended, with minor flaws.… (altro)
