Li Lun is a short, easy to read book that packs a lot more meat into it than the typical early chapter book. The book portrays a culture and way of life that is so totally different from our own that this aspect alone is ;ikely to keep a reader interested. Li Lun exhibits many fine character qualities that parents will appreciate as inspiration for their children. Although the villagers have numerous superstitions and are of a different religion, my experience tells me that there is little cause for concern about introducing youngsters to these elements; they are interesting, but not enticing, because they are totally unfamiliar and in a setting remote from the typical reader's lives. Overall, Li Lun is well-written and provides examples of good character qualities wrapped in an engaging story.
