Reviews
Gr 2-4-This straightforward narrative tells of a reclusive Chinese prince who grows pale and thin from his sedentary lifestyle and recovers only when a clever doctor lures him outside the palace walls. Doctor Me Di Cin is sure that Prince Ma La Di needs nothing more than fresh air and exercise to feel better, but the boy insists on being cured with herbs instead. Me Di Cin pretends to comply. He spends three days "searching" for herbal remedies, but returns only with tantalizingly vague descriptions of what he sees throughout the countryside during his quest. The child finally succumbs to the doctor's subtle ploy-he simply has to see these wonders with his own eyes. The herbal remedies are forgotten, and the two of them embark on a lifelong friendship filled with long walks together. Piumini's message is not a subtle one, and it is made even less so by the contrived names of his protagonists. Nevertheless, the story pulls through. With one to two efficient sentences per page, it makes for a smooth choice for group sharing. Grobler's simple, evocative illustrations do a wonderful job of setting the tone throughout the story.
