Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Amazon Trashes Environment/Empry Pot Over Packaging Comment: I ordered 5 Empty Pot, paper back books, $16.95 each size 18 X 18 inches, maybe 1/4 in thick. Each of these books arrived in a cardboard carton 22 by 18 by 11.75 inches -- 5 such boxes Each box had a 48 foot chain of "Fill Air" plastic air-filled 7 X 7 3/4 plastic bags under the book in each box. There were 82 of these air-filled bags in each chain in each bot. A total of 410 air-filled plastic bags. I have not been able to see the number of the plastic on the bags, but it is most likely not recyclable in NYC and is also probably a petroleum based material. ALL OF THESE BOOKS COULD HAVE BEEN SENT IN ONE PACKAGE WITH NOT PLASTIC AND A MINIMUM OF WASTE. I WILL LOOK TO BARNES & NOBLE and BORDERS BOOKS MORE CAREFULLY IN THE FUTURE. HEY AMAZON, STOP TRASHING THE PLANET!!!!!! Diane Buxbaum Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Comment: A family favorite. We love this book. Had to make sure our girls got the pleasure of reading it.

Customer Rating: Summary: The Empty Pot - A Lesson About Honesty Comment: "The Empty Pot" is a nice Chinese fable that teaches an important lesson about honesty. The Emperor was getting old and wanted to choose one child in the kingdom to succeed him. He posed a challenge for the children. He gave each child a flower seed. Whoever grew the most beautiful flower within one year would become the new emperor. For one year, all of the children spent their time growing the most beautiful flower. Everyone was doing good, except for this one child named Ping who could not seem to get his flower seed to sprout a flower. When the time comes to present each child's flower to the Emperor, Ping brings the empty pot with his flower seed and is declared the new Emperor. To find out how Ping becomes the Emperor, just read the book. It will surprise you. Customer Rating: Summary: Should be in every child's library! Comment: This is such a wonderful book about honesty and humility. I saw it on Between the Lions one day and fell in love with the story. Not much else to say but to make sure you get this book!!
