The Five Chinese Brothers (Paperstar)
by
by
After a terrible accident, five identical Chinese brothers use their individual unique skills to avoid leaving their poor mother without one of her boys.
This is a book I definitely remember reading as a kid. It's still pretty amusing as an adult, and the little ones (4 and 2) seem to enjoy it too. I guess it has some heavy material, but no worse than any other fairy tale, and the artwork is dated but holds up pretty well. I think I didn't really get the style when I was younger but I can see the appeal now (though some of it is still kind of iffy to this artist's eye).
Also... I just shouldn't read reviews on Goodreads. Some people are just ridiculous. It's a fable, people, and you can find racism in ANYTHING if you're really looking for it.
