Quote from The Shady Tree

The Shady Tree

by Demi

Henry Holt and Company, New York, 2016. 29 pp. (unnumbered)


Once upon a time in China
there was a very rich boy named Tan Tan
who lived in a very big house
by the side of the road.

The house was shaded by a very big tree
where birds and animals loved to play.
Tan Tan also loved to play in the shade of the tree
with his very expensive toys.

One afternoon,
a very poor boy named Ping
came and sat down under the tree.
Tan Tan did not like this at all.
"Get up! Get up! Get up!" he shouted.
. . .


Oh, no! Then what happens?  You'll have to come borrow this sequel to The Empty Pot, Ping's first adventure, to find out.  Thank you Kathy H. for this lovely addition to the Center's Demi collection.
