The Story of Paper

32 pp. | Holiday | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1705-0 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by YongSheng Xuan. The Kang brothers are embarrassed when their teacher writes their misdeeds on the palms of their hands. As clever as they are mischievous, the three boys invent paper, which brings them acclaim and helps them to concentrate on their studies. The flat illustrations flow across and around the pages providing a sense of depth and movement. An author's note and directions for making paper are included.
