I, Doko: The Tale of a Basket

32 pp. | Philomel | November, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23625-2 $16.99
(2) K-3 Yeh-yeh's basket, "Doko," recounts its useful roles in its owner's life. When Yeh-yeh grows old, his son thinks to use Doko one last time--to abandon his now-feeble father in--but relents when his own son begs him to bring Doko back so that he can use him when "it is time to leave you on the temple steps." Young's spare yet eloquent telling is illustrated with gold-bordered spreads luscious with color.
