Customer comments on this selection. Best Chinese Book Yet !! Lovely adjectives, good for bedtime reading with my daddy! After I am sent to bed, I get up and read from where me and my daddy stopped. When I finish I feel like I want to read it all over again! Tales of a Chinese Grandmother Very good stories and a wonderful look into the old way in China. 40 years later I still remember my mother reading this to me I am not Chinese, however these are wonderful folk tales and present morals and metaphors that transcend culture. I highly recommend this for reading a loud to your children, especially young girls. Better reading than a bag full of fortune cookies! Twenty-four years after reading this book, its spirit still remains in me. I first read Tales of a Chinese Grandmother while in the third grade. Although I was raised in a traditional Chinese household, this book explained, with charm, the traditions and origins Chinese folklore. This is not a college compendeum of every tradition, rather it is an endearing look at Chinese culture as explained by a grandmother to two young children as they grow up in old China.
