GREAT MULTICULTURAL CHILDRENS BOOK

I used this book in a demonstration in my children's literature class. It was great, the illustrations & pop out pages are great & definately keep the readers/class entertained.

Great Book; Beautiful Illustration; Powerful Story

I'm a firm believer in the power of The Magic Fan. I'm sure you will also be after only one reading. This book holds a powerful lesson behind it's beautiful art -- that of self-discovery, independence, and character. I highly recommend this book to parents, adults, and kids of any age!

The Magic Fan

This beautifully illustrated Japanese fable by Keith Baker has long been one of my favorite children's books. I am a music teacher of young children and at the end of their first grade classes with me, we turn "The Magic Fan" into a musical movie, complete with costumes, children playing instruments copying Japanese instruments, dancing girls, script, Yoshi, singing of "Sakura" (a Japanese folksong) and even the great tsunami. I have written to Keith Baker many times telling him how great this book is and how much not only my students love it, but how much they learn from it. I believe they could help Mr. Baker write a sequel to this. Lynne Cox

Second Generation

When my youngest child, now 15, was in kindergarten, I read him this wonderful book. Each year after that he took this book out of the school library the as soon as he could. He enjoyed the story, pictures and learning about another culture. Now I am buying this book for my grandson so he can enjoy this book also. My son can't wait to read it to his nephew.

My first grader checked it out from the library six times!

This is a wonderful and captivating book that my first grade son loves so much. After he checked it out from his school library for the sixth time (and I read it to him countless nights) we have bought it as a Christmas gift for him. He loves the way the message from the fan is revealed. He also appreciates learning about another culture and a boy who does so much.It is one of the most beautifully illustrated children's books I have ever seen.
