Book Reviews of Shen of The Sea : Chinese Stories for Children
Book Review: A wonderful collection of folk tales.
Summary: 5 Stars
Shen of the Sea is a collection of well-written and great folktales. I'm a folk tale lover myself, so I loved this book. This one's very deserving of the Newbery Medal, and I'm glad it's still in print. Arthur Bowie Chrisman is a very good author. I love the humor in the stories and the wisdom of some of their themes. I recommend it to folk tale lovers everywhere!
