Little Ping is a part in the Little Golden Book series written by Paul Steenhuis and beautifully illustrated by Pieter van Eenoge. The story is about the adventures of a young boy in Beijing which are fun to read to Western children.
In Ping's little world is enough for them to recognize and at the same time they learn more about the lives of children in China. For example that many Chinese have crickets in a little cage, as their pets.
The simple, soft style of drawing by Flemish illustrator/artist Pieter van Eenoge, agrees very well with the story. The soft coloured drawings give the book a warm, gentle atmosphere. We absolutely love this Little Golden Book! Sadly it's not translated into the English language.
3 golden stars for Little Ping, from the snazzie mini-monsters and their readers!
