One of my favorite children's books is "The Five Chinese Brothers" by Claire Huchet Bishop and Kurt Wiese. It's a retelling of an old Chinese legend about five brothers who looked exactly alike with each posessing special abilities. When one is arrested for murder and condemned to be executed, they work together to outwit the executioner by using their individual abilities.

what a wonderful drawing.
I love the 5 Chinese Brothers. I just recently purchased it to read to the boys, and they love it as well. Cute drawing. Good choice.
The look-alike-brothers look funny standing in a row!
That's a great story. I'd forgotten about it!
Thanks for your nice comments - I appreciate your feedback! I'm glad a couple of you are familiar with the story... it's a fun read! Pascal, they do kind of look funny standing together like that! =)
I love that story! I used to read it as a child, and the same copy is now read to my kids! I love the brother who holds the sea in his mouth.
Nice illo, I like your choice of colors.
