The Five Chinese Brothers Audiobook (Unabridged)

" One of my earliest memories of reading. Delightful story. "

" Another one of those book that enriched my love for reading. This story had all children wanting a special talent. "

" a strangely dark tale for children. "

" It's all in how you look at it.... "

" I've always totally loved this book. I didn't realize until a lot later that it was really racist- the plot centers on the "fact" that all Chinese people look alike. It's still good, though. "

" This is another book I remember from childhood....I remember the teacher reading it to us. "

" This time-tested favorite is as much a lesson in keeping promises as it is of using one's wits. Use exagerated dramatic actions to spice up the story telling even more. "

" Oh my fav as a child and even now "

" a great story about a strained relationship of brother brought together in time of struggle and fixing their relationship; lol jk i still don't get it . "

" Who hasn't read this tale of the five Chinese brothers with extra-ordinary powers? Now, we prefer, X-Men and Spider-Man and similar other super-heroes, but in childhood days listening to even the silliest tales like The Five Chinese Brothers used to be so exciting to acquaint with. "

" Scary to a kid I thought back then. "

" This was my favorite book in kindergarten. It may even be the book responsible for motivating me to become a reader. I loved the story and I love reading it to my kids now. "

" I wish I could swallow an ocean. "

" Clever brothers! I haven't read this book in years. Now I wonder why the judge and townspeople didn't notice there were 5 brothers. "

" Racial stereotypes aside, it's a good story. If was I was going to read it to a child, I'd definitely have to explain why this portrayal of chinese people isn't okay. "

" While this is something of a classic picturebook-and I liked it as a child , it has ugly stereotypes in it. I would choose an updated version by Kathy Tucker,The Seven Chinese Sisters or The Seven Chinese Brothers by Margaret Mahy to read to children today. "

" Children love to act out this folktale. "

" I had always liked this book but it never occurred to me how it could be perceived as racist until I read it as an adult. "

" This was one of my favorites when I was a child! I'm still waiting for the movie adaptation! "

" I loved this book as a kid - the first brother swallowed the sea - I rememered that part, but the rest was like reading it for the first time. "

" 3.0 stars. I remember reading this as a kid and liking it because it was unlike most of the other stories I was reading. A fun little Children's book. "

" My son is still a bit young for this I think (hmmm, I'll have to see)... but I adored it growing up! "

" I remember this book so vividly from when I was little. It's just great. Weird, but great. "

" probably not PC, but i have fond memories of this. "

" Do not read this to PJ!!!!!!! "
