Description In Pursuance Of Books The Seven Chinese Brothers
This story is about seven Chinese brothers that all live together. The brothers are all so much alike that you can hardly tell them apart except that they each have a different amazing power. One has amazing ears, one has amazing eye sight, one has great strength, one has iron bones, one has legs that can grow, one never gets to hot, and the last brother if he cries, one tear will drown a whole city. The brother with great hearing heard people working and the brother with great eyesight could see hundreds of men repairing a hole in the Great Wall of China and so the brother with all the strength went to help. The emperor who thought that a person this strong would do more damage than good sentenced him to death, they were going to behead him. The one brother heard him crying so the brother with iron bones went to take his place. This continues with each brother and finally they outsmart the emperor.This story is based on a traditional Chinese tale about seven Chinese brothers. It also gives information about the Great Wall of China and how it was created.

love love love fun, entertaining for PreK,KLoved it! So creative and sweet
Fantastic book from my childhood. I liked the folktale element of the story and the theme of togetherness. The illustrations are terrific. This one is a definite classic.
I loved this book as a child and being able to say to my daughter that I had read this book when I was her age gave us both a little thrill. (What can I say, we're easily excited.) Fortunately it's still a classic and held up to my memories nor did it include any embarrassing or politically incorrect wording. (Whew!)
A great folktale from China; includes references to Great Wall of China; I would use in a folktale lesson for 2nd grade; very entertaining
Good memories from my childhood.
Somy little guy said the pictures were over exaggerated and the story was unrealistic. ButI tried to tell him it was a tall tale and he would hear nothing of it. So we settle on 3 stars.
