Published in 1943 and chosen as one of five Caldecott Honor Books in 1944 - the other honorees that year were Small Rain: Verses from the Bible, Pierre Pidgeon, The Mighty Hunter and A Child's Good Night Book - this retelling of a traditional Chinese folktale is noteworthy for the extreme youth of its award-winning illustrator. Just twelve years old when he drew the illustrations for The Good-Luck Horse, Plato Chan is the youngest artist to ever receive a nod from the Caldecott committee. The son of a Chinese diplomat, Chan was educated in a number of different countries, and was living in New York with his mother - the author of this retelling - when the book was produced. This is all very impressive of course - all the more so since I enjoyed the artwork here a great deal. I think the colored scenes - done in blue and pinkish-orange - were superior to the black and white ones, but they were all quite appealing. The story itself is interesting, although a little too wordy for younger children, perhaps. I finished this one with a desire to know more about the tale being presented - has it appeared in other forms, and in other written sources? If so, where? I'll have to keep an eye out for it... ( )
