Product Description
A childhood classic. “Kurt Wiese and Marjorie Flack have made in Ping a duckling of fantastic individuality against a background (the Yangtze River) that has both accuracy and charm.”–The New York Times. Full-color illustrations.Amazon.com Review
The tale of a small duck alone on the Yangtze River, The Tale About Ping is a sweet and amusing book with wonderfully rich and colorful illustrations. On a day like any additional, Ping sets off from the boat he calls home with his comically large family tree in search of “pleasant things to eat.” On this particular day, he is accidentally left behind when the boat leaves. Undaunted, the small duck heads out onto the Yangtze in search of his family tree, only to find new friends and adventures–and a bit of peril–around every bend.
The exceptional illustrations bring the lush Yangtze to life, from Ping’s family tree to the trained fishing birds he finds himself among to the faithfully rendered boats and fishermen. Certainly proposed to be read aloud, The Tale About Ping deserves a place on every young reader’s (or listener’s) shelf. (Picture book)

After reading this book, I caught a duck to use on the links. Despite naming it Ping, my distance and putting went down the toilet. I would not suggest using Ping for your average hacker.

I had this book while growing up and I despised it! It gave me nightmares to the point where I couldn’t even have it in the room with me. I am 29 now, with 5 children of my own and I still have nightmares about this book. I will never theme my children to this book. The cruelty and terror Ping must go thru is horrifying.

The illustrations are unadorned and unappealing. The flow of the reading lags as well. My son never showed any interest in this book, and neither did I. Also, there are several references to beating ducks with a stick.

I bought this book because it comes up on Amazon as an additional suggestion when I type in “Corduroy,” which is, perhaps, the sweetest children’s book ever. Well, when “Ping” arrived, I was sadly stunned. “The Tale About Ping” is about animal cruelty, abuse, and injustice. Thankfully, my spouse “read” it first with my son, and he just looked at the pictures lacking reading the words. When my husbdan told me later to look it over, I did and was horrified. We threw this book away immediately.

Get a life guys! It’s a simple tale with a warm ending. Tells your kids that even if they venture out into the world and make some terrible choices or dumb mistakes, a loving family tree still welcomes them back with like and affection (have you looked at the last picture?). Your kids don’t read more into it so why should you?
This is my one of my daughter’s favorite books. She’s 23 now and will be reading it to her kids. It’s one of persons books that, in the end, makes a small child feel warm and safe…the way they should feel.
