A Chinese emperor announces that his successor will be the child who grows the most beautiful flowers from the seeds the emperor distributes. Ping, a Chinese boy who can make anything grow, is disappointed when nothing comes up in his pot. Ignoring the blossoms brought by other children since he had secretely distributed cooked seeds that would not grow, the emperor rewards Ping for his honesty. Exquisitely illustrated by Demi, this story is geared for readers ages 4-7.  (CHN106, $17.99)
