Chinese language has a very special category of Chinese idioms called chengyu, a unique style of idiom always told in four-characters. Every idiom has a fascinating story behind it, sometimes drawn from history, and other times told as a parable. The stories behind these idioms are a wonderful eye-opener and will amuse the younger readers. With great illustrations and characters, this full-color book will be perfect for your child's bedtime stories. Idioms include:

- Getting Out of the Jaws of Death
- An Attempt to Scoop up the Moon from a Well
- A Bird Startled by the Mere Twang of a Bowstring
- The Less a Man Has Seen, the More He Has to Wonder at
- Waiting for More Hares by the Tree Stump
