Summary: It's about treating people with repect
Comment: I was sorry to hear that other readers found this book to be about making the rich evil. I did not find that at all. The moral of the story is about treating others with respect. It's about appreciating what is around you and not taking those in your life for granted. It's a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations.

Summary: Typical "rich is evil" stereotype.
Comment: This book promotes the stereotype that the being rich automatically makes you evil. The main character Chin Yu Min, is the wife of a wealthy man, who believes she is better than everyone else in her village (as all rich people do). And like all evil rich people, Chin needs to be taught a lesson on the real value of friendship and humility.
Not for parents who want to teach their children that achieving a high level of financial success is not a bad thing.

Summary: A Delight For Children Of Any Age
Comment: Chin Yu Min And The Ginger Cat, written by Jennifer Armstrong and Illustrated by Mary Grandpre, is yet another fine example of Mary Grandpre's brilliance as an illustrator. Mary Grandpre's paintings linger in the imagination long after the pages have been turned. Jennifer Armstrong does a fine job of adapting a Chinese folktale. Chin Yu Min is the wife of a wealthy man. Chin believes this puts her above everyone in her village. Chin is imperious, haughty and snobbish. When Chin's husband drowns and she runs out of money, Chin refuses the kind offerings of help from the other villagers. One day Chin meets a mysterious cat at the fishing docks who helps return Chin to her previous financial status. It is only when Chin loses the cat that she learns the real value of friendship and humility. Chin Yu Min and the Ginger Cat is delight for children of any age.
