S'il arrive à bien négocier, il lui restera suffisament de monnaie pour s'acheter une lanterne pour la fête... Un album prétexte pour aborder de nombreux clichés identitaires, avec une double page pour fabriquer une lanterne, une autre pour expliquer la vie au marché ; l'histoire inclue un conte : "la légende de la déesse de la Lune". On the day of the Moon festival, Lin Yi is dying to get a rabbit-shaped lantern for the festivities. His mother sends him off to market to get some groceries and tells him if he manages to negotiate with the merchants properly he will have the money he needs to buy one. A cute story, and great illustrations with rich detail showing Lacombe's range. The book ends with a section showing how to make a Japanese lantern and an explanation about the Moon festival. Sweet and probably great for the 3 and up crowd. This book is available to English readers. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Like a number of other picture-books I have read featuring the Chinese Mid-Autumn Moon Festival - The Shadow in the Moon: A Tale of the Mid-Autumn Festival and Mooncakes spring to mind in this respect - Lin Yi's Lantern: A Moon Festival Tale includes both a story set at the time of the festival and a brief retelling of a folktale associated with that festival. Here the folktale is included at the rear, along with instructions on making a Chinese Lantern and a brief discussion of market life in China. I found author Brenda Williams' tale sweet, if a bit predictable. One never gets the sense that Lin Yi will truly be denied what he wants, so the reward at the end felt less satisfying. That said, I think it will please young children, and the artwork from illustrator Benjamin Lacombe is simply lovely. Recommended to anyone looking for stories about the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, of which there are still far too few. ( )
