The Lost Horse: A Chinese Folktale by Ed Young

A very short tale that I was rather disappointed in.  A wise man from China would caution every good event with the phase "Perhaps it is not such a good thing" and every bad event with "it might not be such a bad thing." The whole story has about 2 sentences per 2 page spread, and about 10 spreads in the whole book.  However the book is somewhat redeemed by its four puppets that come with to play out the story.  I think we enjoyed those much more than the story itself.
