Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: My Son Liked This Book a Lot... Comment: ... and that's the best review I can give it. We read it together in the Spanish-language edition, with the same colorful illustrations. If there's a moral to the story, it has to do with solidarity between the brothers, recognition of differing skills, appreciation of each other's worth. There's another book called The Five Chinese Brothers, which perhaps teaches the same lessons in a less 'terrifying' narrative. My thought is that both books belong in a good children's library, along with the story of the Chinese girl who goes to war in her father's stead. American children deserve some taste of the heroism of China to counteract the still-rampant discrimination against all things Chinese. Customer Rating: Summary: The Seven Chinese Brothers Comment: YO! If I had even one brother like these seven, I could'a ruled Philadelphia! Great story! Customer Rating: Summary: Gory nonsense Comment: A typical episode: the emperor orders one of the brothers beheaded for no good reason. But this brother has bones of steel which breaks the executioner's sword. Do you want to put such gory nonsense into your children's heads when their minds are getting acquainted with the world? Customer Rating: Summary: The Seven Chinese Brothers Comment: Have you read the book called "The Seven Chinese Brothers"? The story is mainly about seven brothers who want to help people. Each brother has a special gift of power. Each of the brothers gets in trouble and help each other when they get in trouble. I hope you like it. Customer Rating: Summary: Seven Chinese Brothers Comment: The book was really nice. It was very fun when the seventh brother got his tears out, and all of the armies went away. It was also very fun when the emperor was trying to hurt the brothers. But he didn't. That is all. M vd S More Reviews
