Mr. Haktak is a poor but happy farmer who lives a good life with his kindhearted wife. One day, while working in his garden, Mr. Haktak digs up a large, ancient brass pot. He carries it home to his wife, but, not able to carry the pot and his purse, which contains five gold coins, he puts the purse into the pot. When he gets home, he is shocked to discover that the pot now holds two identical purses, both containing five gold coins! Once the Haktaks discover that the pot will double anything put into it, they realize that they will now be able to live a very comfortable life. However, the next day, Mrs. Haktak herself accidentally falls into the pot. How will the Haktaks deal with the arrival of a second Mrs. Haktak? This picture book version of a traditional Chinese folktale is illustrated with acrylic and gouache paintings.

Two of Everthing

Delightfully told Chinese folk tale, wonderful illustrations. Could also be used for a "doubling "math focus.

As she did in How the Ox Star Fell from Heaven , this talented author-illustrator here distills a Chinese folktale with style and humor. Her lucid narrative is coupled with beguiling, full-page airbrushed acrylic and gouache pictures that display a distinctive palette highlighted by sumptuous blues and greens. Digging in his garden, a poor farmer discovers an ancient brass pot. While carrying his find home, the man drops his purse, which he then tosses into the pot for safekeeping. At home, when his wife peers into the vessel she finds not one but two purses. The couple puts the magic pot to work, multiplying their remaining gold coins many times over. But their good fortune takes an unexpected turn when Mr. and Mrs. Haktak both manage to fall into the pot, and a clone of each of them appears. "Now even our troubles are beginning to double,'' the farmer observes wryly. How they make peace with their new lives will have youngsters, if not doubled up with laughter, at least genuinely amused, and wanting to reread this yarn--at least twice. Ages 5-8. (Mar.)
