Claire P. sent me three Children's book, ' Tikki Tikki Tembo', 'The five Chinese brothers' and 'The story about Ping'. They, as my friend explains, have been popular Chinese stories in the states, although none of them were very new to me or my friends. . Claire also writes in her mail:
...those stories were my first information about China that I learned as a child. After being with you on Tour with Duke University, you opened up so much more of China and its people. I am grateful to you. Fondly, Claire
The story about Ping:
Ping is a spirited little duck who lives on the Yangtze River. One night, to avoid a spanking for being the last duck home, Ping stays out all night and explores the world. His funny misadventures will delight young readers today as much as they did in 1933, when this classic tale was first published.
Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip reri pembo is the name of a mother's first and most honored son. It means the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world. After 40 years and over a million copies sold, Tikki Tikki Tembo remains one of the world's most beloved picture books, perfect to share again and again.
The five Chinese brothers are a little like ' gourd brothers'. Each of them has different powers and they work together to combat the devils.
