(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nicholas Debon. "Time passes slowly," Chuan complains. Readers may agree, as Pilegard's storytelling feels rather sluggish in this seventh book about Chuan and Jing Jing. Chuan is stumped by warlord Ying-Fa's request for an early morning wake-up call; he solves the problem by fashioning a water clock out of a bowl and a leaky bag. The expansive illustrations beautifully depict ancient China. A related activity is appended.
