About this product
Product Information
"Traditional papercuts are perfectly suited to the kite images . . . With its folkloric tone, this stands on its own as a story about creativity."-- Kirkus Reviews The Kang brothers imagine making wings to fly and drive the birds from their rice fields! With paper, straw, and feathers, what else can they create? This series, recounting how the creative Kang brothers discovered four of China's famed inventions, is redesigned to feature new bilingual simplified Chinese translations. "Traditional cut-paper art puts the wind in the sails of this charming story, appended with kite-making instructions." - Publishers Weekly

"Written to appeal to children in primary grades, the exciting story of the invention of kites is told in both English and Chinese/Mandarin narratives, with exciting, vibrant woodcut-style illustrations and brilliant primary colors." - Midwest Book Review "To keep the birds away from the rice fields in their village, the Kang brothers, Ting, Pan, and Kai, improvise with feathers, chopsticks, paper until they invent kites. The boys are a bit mischievous when it comes to avoiding their chores or practicing their math, but together, they encourage one another to overcome a problem they are experiencing...The simplified Chinese that appears under the English text will be of interest to bilingual families or students...Recommended." - CM magazine "the playfulness and creativity of this book makes this version specially appealing." - Paper Tigers, Traditional cut-paper art puts the wind in the sails of this charming story, appended with kite-making instructions., "The Playfulness and Creativity of this Book Makes this Version Specially Appealing."-Paper Tigers, "Written to appeal to children in primary grades, the exciting story of the invention of kites is told in both English and Chinese/Mandarin narratives, with exciting, vibrant woodcut-style illustrations and brilliant primary colors." - Midwest Book Review "To keep the birds away from the rice fields in their village, the Kang brothers, Ting, Pan, and Kai, improvise with feathers, chopsticks, paper until they invent kites.
