mineditionUS Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, The
Book SynopsisBrilliant illustrations and four stunning gatefold page spreads bring this beloved Chinese tale of a man's encounter with a water nymph to vibrant life The Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River is an ancient Chinese poem created by Cao Zhi, a writer living in the state of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (c. 220-280 CE). In his tale, Cao Zhi is returning from the capital to his own land when he stops at the Luo River for a rest, where he sees a vision of the goddess so powerful that he instantly falls in love with her. Cao sees a nymph of peerless beauty "as elegant as a startled swan and supple as a swimming dragon". Though he's swept away by her ethereal beauty, it's a love that isn't meant to be. In this tale, alas, there can be no marriage between the earthly and heavenly realms. In a masterpiece of illustration, the young artist Ye Luying renders this tale's lavish world by combining traditional Chinese painting styles with a contemporary graphic-novel sensibility. With its high production values and amazingly-detailed-multi-page foldout spreads, this is a special book that will entice art lovers of all ages. Yu Zhiying's adaptation and the accompanying explanatory notes will provide readers with a fresh view of ancient Chinese culture.Trade Review"In this retelling of an ancient Chinese poem, a writer imagines the doomed love between the earthly and heavenly in this oversized picture book for older readers. Returning from a visit with the emperor, poet Cao Zhi passes by the River Luo. "As the ancient tale goes, underneath the river lives a beautiful goddess"so, as a writer, Cao decides to put forth his own story of a different goddess of the majestic river. Cao's goddess is ethereal: "she dazzles like the sun rising in the morningshe's as luminous as the lotus that grows in the shallows." Love is instant between poet and goddess, but with love comes hesitation and worry. Ultimately, the goddess concludes that "the world of humans and gods could never exist together." Readers unfamiliar with the poem will likely find the level of narrative detail insufficient, and consequently the melancholy ebbs rather than flows forth. Ye's illustrations, however, are lush in detail and lovely in strangeness. The illustrator injects traditional elements of Chinese paintings with a modern playfulness and whimsy. Big-eyed fish, fantastical creatures, and odd flora and fauna fill the pages. Elements of the natural world adorn the Goddess of Luo to evoke the otherworldly. Instead of being enrobed by traditional Chinese clothing, a flowing cape ending in a fish tail drapes over her body. Strands of pearls surround her and come to life as fairies. Four multipage gatefolds stunningly capture both the movement in the illustrations and the scale of the tale. Lavish illustrations elevate this adaptation of a classic." Kirkus Reviews"Although a goddess and a mortal can fall in love, it is best to remember that the "world of humans and gods could never exist together." The story of the beautiful goddess of the Luo River is one of love and loss, based on a poem written by Cao Zhi, a Chinese writer who lived "in the state of Wei during the three Kingdoms period (approximately 220-280 CE)." The translation and adaptation from the Chinese is generally fluid but it is the illustration and format that distinguish this large volume, enhancing the drama and scope of the story. Several stunning illustrations are presented on extended gatefolds that open up to almost mural size. They evoke the river, present a sensuous river goddess and the mortal with whom she falls in love (including their ultimate separation), and dramatically depicts other gods and goddesses and other symbolic creatures from Chinese lore. Individual deities and figures are pictured with a brief explanation as well as a note on the history of the story and its illustrations to conclude this unique book. VERDICT Though not an essential purchase for libraries, this is sure to intrigue readers and may encourage further examination of traditional Chinese art and literature." Maria B.

mineditionUS Dinosaur Surprise
Book SynopsisWhat could be more exciting to a toddler than animals that turn into dinosaurs? Every animal in this book looks cute and small—until you unfold the flaps to reveal a much bigger dinosaur within! Is that a jellyfish or a Pterodactyl? Is that a parrot or a Triceratops? Open the flaps to find out...Trade Review"Things aren't always as they seem in this inventive gallery of dinosaurs in disguise.Those caregivers who remember Mad magazine's Fold-Ins will appreciate the central device of this fun and colorful board book. In Mad , when a large illustration of a seemingly ordinary scene was folded on the dotted lines, the folded elements came together to create a new picture illustrating the punchline to the joke. In this book, unfolding a seemingly innocuous picture reveals a bevy of dinosaurs to delight dinophiles of all ages. "Look," opens the text, "isn't that a beautiful butterfly?" But once readers pull out the accordion-folded page they see: "No, that's a Pteranodon." A page of text on verso faces a very nonthreatening image on recto until little readers extend the folded pages full length, revealing the hidden reptiles. "Oh no, it's a spider! / Wait, it's a Tyrannosaurus RexRun!" The text and the accompanying reveals lend themselves to call-and-response readings and squeals of laughter. The artwork is cartoonish and decidedly nonthreatening; some dinosaurs are more recognizable than others. The book scores points with an eclectic mix of dinosaurs, including some fairly obscure creaturesKronosaurus, Parasaurolophus, and Europlocephalus, for instancewith points deducted for depicting Triceratops with a double row of spikes on its back and without the essential third horn on its beak by which it gets its name.Interactive, prehistoric fun for the whole family."
