The Travels of Ching
There aren’t many books I can remember from when I was in
grade school, just a “few” years ago, but very lightly I can remember the
librarian reading The Travels of Ching among a few others. We all had favorite books growing up, and
although I can’t say this was one of them I do remember it, so apparently it did
make a lasting impression.
Robert Bright wrote and illustrated the book in 1943 so you
could imagine how surprised I was to learn that The Travels of Ching is
currently being republished by his granddaughter. What a sweet gesture that is and a great opportunity
to share a book with my children that I remember from when I was their
age.
The Travels of Ching is a delightful and educational story
of how a little doll makes a long journey from China to America and then into
the hands of the most deserving recipient.
This is a great book for all ages.
Miss Aly loved it, the boys loved it, and even I enjoyed reading it
again after all these years.
I remember this book from when I was little also!! I actually remember my grandma reading it to me when I brought it home as a library book.. i checked it out at least once a month! lol I forgot all about it until now and I know my daughter June would love it. Thank you so much for reminding me of it :)
