Oh my! I have been looking for something like this! My daughter is very much into books, and my father also loves these stories. Sadly, he lives far and we rarely see him, so this is great! :)

Great Book
Great find. I'm buying this book right now. Another book we love is "My First Chinese New Year" by Karen Katz. It's a really cute book.http://www.amazon.com/My-First-Chinese-New-Year/dp/0805070761/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215590914&sr=1-11

Found this post via Google b/c we are buying books for Christmas. This book seems great b/c I love those fables too! Is it age 2 appropriate or are there actually a lot of words?
Hi Lisacng,
There are whole pages with paragraphs of text in this book, so Kindergarten might be a more appropriate age, depending on the kid. You can see a sample of the book at Amazon.
