Young readers will enjoy Three Monks, No Water for the humour and easy to read.... Recommended.--Janice Foster"Canadian Materials" (02/27/1998) As author Ting Xing Ye recalls, excuses for not doing chores or passing on a household task to someone else would result in her mother quoting the old, widely used expression, "It's typical. Three monks, no water." As the story unfolds concerning how this saying might have originated, the reader learns how accepting responsibility and the essential lesson of cooperation would have averted the disaster the monks eventually encounter. On opening the cover, attention is immediately drawn to a simple, stamp-sized seal. This seal was specially designed using Chinese characters to depict the expression 'three monks, no water'. Ye's clear and concise style emphasizes the human tendency to avoid tedious chores. The varied characterization of each of the three monks adds humour to the story. Harvey Chan's illustrations, rendered in acrylic and coloured pencil on gessoed board, complement and enhance the text. The repeated orange-yellow textured background gives the appearance of linen or woven grass paper often associated with Chinese art. Throughout the book, the book's title saying is repeated in Chinese calligraphy. Young readers will enjoy Three Monks, No Water for the humour and easy to read style in which the origin of this expression is told. The clever illustrations add to the appeal of the book. Recommended.--Janice Foster"Canadian Materials" (02/27/1998)
Reseña del editor
The ancient Chinese saying, ''three monks, no water'' is the subject of this story that reveals the danger of pride when a temple catches fire. The monks, who wouldn'' t fetch water, now realise they have to work together to put out the blaze. '
