Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

A beautiful mandarin duck is captured and caged by a greedy lord who wants to show off the bird's magnificent plumage. But the wild creature pines for his mate. When Yasuko, the kitchen maid, releases the bird against her lord's command, she and the one-eyed servant, Shozo, are sentenced to death. The grateful bird intends to return their kindness, but can he outsmart the cruel lord?

Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for Illustration, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year.



From Publishers Weekly

A one-eyed samurai is unjustly forced to be a servant in this Japanese folktale; PW praised Paterson's retelling as "rich with magic, compassion and love," and the Dillons' pastel and watercolor illustrations as "exquisite." Ages 5-8.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks, Mar 17 2000
By Mrs. Diane Graff (Escondido, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tale Of The Mandarin Ducks (Hardcover)
My granddaughter (11) and I have enjoyed this book emmensely and are re-reading it often. She loves tales of Japan and the beautiful illustrations. My husband and I lived in Japan for 2 years. This book's story has good moral principles and is an easy way to teach kind thoughtful behavior and the benefits of love and responsibility.
