Read in the collection A Treasury of Japanese Folktales, an excellent bilingual book by Yuri Yasudo, beautifully illustrated, which I will review separately. I don't think I'll bother trying to get Paterson's version, though I'm sure it's also excellent (and the folktale is universal with a moral I support). This book had many great qualities. First, the language used in this book was fantastic. The author used Japanese onomatopoeic words to help retain the Japanese flavor in this English rendition of the story. For example, the author writes, "...so the old man scrubbed the oxen with all his might until finally, binga binga, the oxen began to gleam." The onomatopoeic phrase "binga binga" is used in Japanese to refer to when something is sparkling clean. Second, the illustrations in this text used the traditional Japanese ink-drawing techniques. The illustrator added occasional pops of color to help the reader discern important elements in the picture. This illustration style enhanced the story because it portrayed authentic details in terms of style of dress and textile patterns. Furthermore, the "big picture" of this story is to remain humble and not succumb to greed. This lesson is experienced by the Granny, whose greed leads her to mistreat a small sparrow and ultimately pay for her crimes. This is a Japanese folklore that teaches you not to be greedy. An old man and his wife visit a sparrow on different times. The wife is very greedy and receives nothing but snakes and goblins. What I really liked about this book were the ink illustrations. I could use it to show my students what ink art looks like, which is popular in Asian cultures. I also liked the onomatopoeia. Children would have so much fun saying the words out load, and it is a great example of showing them this type of literature language. At the same time, it teaches not to be greedy. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
