Book Overview

The Empty Pot is Demi's beloved picture book about an honest schoolboy

A long time ago in China there was a boy named Ping who loved flowers. Anything he planted burst into bloom.

The Emperor loved flowers too. When it was time to choose an heir, he gave a flower seed to each child in the kingdom. Whoever can show me their best in a year's time, he proclaimed, shall succeed me to the throne

Ping plants his seed and tends it every day. But month after month passes, and nothing grows. When spring comes, Ping must go to the Emperor with nothing but an empty pot.

Demi's exquisite art and beautifully simple text show how Ping's embarrassing failure is turned triumphant in this satisfying tale of honesty rewarded.

   Lovely Book!
We just loved this book, we're reprinting it. It was my 8-year-old who brought it home. It is a very good story, with a moral message which keeps you guessing until the end of the story. Really nice graphics. A great book. I'm thinking of buying a couple more books to have on hand for birthday gifts.

This is truly heartwarming, said Blair, "especially when you consider the impact that Hurricane Katrina had on the people of New Orleans." It has a lovely message and seriously breath-taking illustrations, it's just too good to read.

   Nice story
I bought this for my 2nd grade literature class and it's great. If you have a 2-year-old, you may want to consider a nanny. The upper range of children, from 7 to 8, does not seem to fit this book level. Overall, I'd say this is a good story.
