The Five of Us

(2) K-3 Five friends each have a fantastic physical attribute, such as acute hearing. When they encounter a crisis, their talents are brought into play to cooperatively save the day. The story is plainly told, folktale-structured and linear. Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations with a loose and energetic line suffuse every element with personality. This is The Five Chinese Brothers for our time.
