Book Review: The Five Chinese Brothers
written by Claire Huchet Bishop and Illustrated by Kurt Wiese
Plot Summary:
This children's story was one of my all time favorite stories growing up. I would classify this story in the fantasy children's book genre because of the different talent-aspects in the story. It's a story of five Chinese brothers who all look identical and all obtain a special talent. The first brother could swallow the sea, the second had an iron neck, the third could stretch his legs, the fourth could not be burned, and the fifth could hold his breath indefinitely. All of these talents become very important once the first brother is summoned to his death.
