Produktbeschreibung

Learn how the three fun-loving Kang brothers created paper, one of China's most famous inventions! This colorfully redesigned edition features a new bilingual Chinese translation.

The playful Kang brothers (Ting, Pan, and Kùai) discovered four of China's most famous discoveries in the series Amazing Chinese Inventions. The boys' teacher catches them playing at school. So he writes embarrassing notes on their brothers' hands which they must show to everyone (including their parents).

The Kang boys don't want their teacher to write embarrassing notes on their hands anymore. If only the teacher could write on something smaller and more private. Can the Kangs concoct a formula for what just may become a very useful school supply? The story features an author's note on the history of paper and instructions for homemade paper.

"The ingenious Kang brothers, seen last in The Story of Kites, return for another entrepreneurial adventure. " - ALA Booklist
