My favorite children's book

My mom always read me my favorite story when I was a child. It was called "The Story about Ping" by Marjorie Flack. When my daughter was about two I remembered the book and went on a search. I was amazed that it was still around. A copy of it sits on the desk beside me. The little yellow duck on the Yangtze river was always late and in fear of a spanking.

My mother was born in Hong Kong and has always had wonderful stories of her own to tell me about growing up there including the story about her kicking a police officer in the seat of his pants when she was twelve. Remind me to tell you that one some day (my kids thought it was pretty funny - imaging grandma doing that!)
