What Bear is Reading

Although we read many books this week, I wanted to mention one in particular called The Empty Pot.


This is a delightful story, set in China, of an Emperor who needs to find a successor. He gives all the children in the land seeds to plant and tells them he will choose the child with the most beautiful flower in a year's time. I won't ruin the story for anyone who wants to read it, but it is a tale of honesty and courage. I highly recommend it.

To see what others are reading, see Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns.
