The Runaway Wok: A Chinese New Year Tale
by Ying Chang Compestine
Summary: One Chinese New Year's Eve, a poor man who works for the richest businessman in Beijing sends his son to market to trade their last few eggs for a bag of rice. Instead, he brings home an empty, but magical wok that changes their fortunes forever.
This is a humorous, lengthy book. This clever story seems like a hybrid of The Gingerbread Man and Robin Hood.
