FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

The Hunter: A Chinese Folktale

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Young. Hunter Hai Li Bu saves the life of a snake and is rewarded with the ability to understand animal languages. When this gift causes Hai Li Bu to learn of an impending flood, he makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his fellow villagers. Young's spare, elegant artwork, rendered in gouache and pastel on textured earth-toned paper, lends a traditional look to this tale.
