| Pulling the Radish author & illustrator ZHOU XU |
An old man planted a radish, which grew very big. One day, the old man tried to pull it out but couldn't. He called for the old
woman and his grandson to help, but even they couldn't budge it. Some little mice underground had also discovered the giant radish and were tugging at it. Suddenly, with a 'plop,' the radish was pulled out, but by whom?
This is a new interpretation of a traditional folk story, with a dual narrative structure
that makes the illustrations and story content more diverse. It infects the reader's emotions with childhood memories, evoking memories of reading classic stories. The clever and unique concept makes the classic story full of surprises and unexpected twists.
The little mouse lives in a big pile of books and feels very
happy because he can find lots of books to read, such as his favorite story, 'Pulling the Radish.' He tells a version of the story that his great-great-great uncle told him, which should be the real version. |
PRESS REVIEWS The author combines Leo Tolstoy's 'Pulling the Radish' with his own childhood experiences to bring
new life to the classic story. This version of 'Pulling the Radish' uses two intertwined storylines to tell the story, bringing new creativity and richness to the classic folk tale, and making it more readable. This is an innovative and creative work. —— Peng Yi
The clever convergence of
the above-ground and underground worlds and the humorous and novel ending make a well-known story feel fresh and dazzling. —— Ji Zhuanghua
Step into the story, step out of the story, and then step back into the story. —— Children's literature researcher Xia
