Ms. Frizzle’s Adventures: Imperial China Ms. Frizzle, Wanda, and Arnold simply duck under the dragon at the local Chinese New Year's parade, and they are mysteriously whisked back in time to ancient China! They arrive in a village where the farmers are in trouble. The Friz and friends vow to go to the capital to get the emperor's help. As they journey, they learn how silk is made, travel on the Grand Canal, and see the Great Wall under construction, but will they fulfill their mission to help the farmers?
Cole and Degen relay a bounty of facts with charm and humor as they bring the majesty of imperial China to life.
A fable about a young Chinese boy, and contest to become the next emperor, it teaches the importance of honesty. I LOVE the illustrations!
Tikki Tikki Tembo
Tikki Tikki Tembo is set in ancient China and invents an ancient Chinese custom whereby parents honor their first-born sons with long, elaborate names.
A boy named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo ("The Most Wonderful Thing in the Whole Wide World") and his little brother Chang learn an important lesson about their names.
Even 4th graders love chanting along to this famous tale.
