Yang the Eldest and His Odd Jobs

121 pp. | Little | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-316-59011-8 $$15.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Kees de Kiefte. In this fourth story about the Yang family, Third Sister tells about Eldest Brother and his money troubles when his violin needs to be replaced. The struggles of this recent immigrant family seem more forced than in the previous books, but the story moves along at a fast clip, with humor and some suspense as the children help their brother.
