<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A childhood classic. "Kurt Wiese and Marjorie Flack have created in Ping a duckling of great individuality against a background (the Yangtze River) that has both accuracy and charm".--The New York Times. Full-color illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Since 1933, <b>The Story About Ping</b> has captivated generations of readers, but never before has it been available in a mass-market paperback format. No one can deny the appeal of the book's hero, Ping, the spirited little duck who lives on a boat on the Yangtze River. Ping's misadventures one night while exploring the world around his home form the basis of this timeless classic, which is brought to life by <b>Kurt Wiese</b>'s warm and poignant illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marjorie Flack</b> first got the idea for her classic story from her first book, written by her friend Helen Lomen. The Peking ducks in <i>Angus and the Ducks</i> so intrigued her that she began researching them. <i>The Story About Ping</i> was the result. She went on to write and illustrate many more children's stories, including <i>Boats on the River</i>, illustrated by Jay Hyde Barnum, which was named a Caldecott Honor Book. Ms. Flack died in 1958. <p/><b>Kurt Wiese</b> illustrated almost three hundred books for children. Books he both wrote and illustrated include <i>You Can Write Chinese</i> and <i>Fish in the Air</i>. Both stories were named Caldecott Honor Books, and reflect his experiences as a traveler in China where he lived for six years. Mr. Wiese died in 1974.
