Title: From a mother to her son
Review: I remembered this being one of my favorite books to read as a child, and now my 21 month-old son always asks me to read it to him!! Reading it as adult, and as a parent, I was a little bothered by the second son, Chang's, name meaning "little or nothing" because I would never want ANY of my children to be referred to as "little or nothing". I don't know anything about Chinese culture or whether or not any of the traditions are even accurate, but when it comes down to it, it's just a book. Take it for what it is...a story, and try not to read too deeply into it, and this book is really enjoyable...especially when you get to say "Tikki Tikki Tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo".
