(3) K-3 In this unsourced Chinese folktale (companion to Demi's The Empty Pot), rich, selfish Tan Tan sells poor Ping his tree's shade. But Ping follows the shade into Tan Tan's home and brings friends; enraged Tan Tan moves to "another house, where there...were no friends." When Tan Tan returns, Ping is compassionate. Demi's signature watercolor and mixed-media illustrations in neat circular frames complement the straightforward telling.
