Shon thinks his wife Sian’s work at home on the farm is nothing compared to his efforts in the field. When Sian agrees to trade places, Shon expects an easy, relaxing day. After all, there’s just the butter to churn, the oats to grind, and the cow to take out to the field — or so he thinks. In the comedy of errors that ensues, Shon learns a much-needed lesson about counting your blessings. Best-selling author Eric Maddern’s droll narrative and Paul Hess’s stylishly funny watercolors make this an entertaining story with a message.

With droll text and stylish illustrations, this lively retelling of a traditional Chinese folktale relates the story of Old King Karnak, who, with no heir to succeed him, stages an unusual competition.

Jack, a farmer's son, also gets his hands on a seed, waters it, and waits for it to grow. The down-to-earth message of this endearing tale will delight children and adults alike. "Con un texto gracioso e ilustraciones elegantes, esta narracion viva de un cuento tradicional chino relata la historia del viejo rey Karnak, quien, sin heredero que le siga, convoca una competicion un tanto inusual.
