The Secret of the Sand Castles / by Demi,author.;
"When a group of children are having a playful day at the beach, the fun of building sand castles turns sour when they start bickering about whose castle is best. While fighting over "I, me, and mine," they end up destroying and abandoning the castles they so carefully constructed. A magical wise man arrives to teach them about how it is the things we can't see that really matter most: truth, generosity, compassion, and love. Inspired by a tale from the Buddhist sutras and delicately illustrated by the beloved and award-winning author Demi, [The Empty Castles] shows children the joy of creating a harmonious world in which to live-with openheartedness and love for one another"--Grades K-1

Three monks [audio-enabled device]: a story told in English and Chinese / by Zhang, Xiaoling,1977-author.(CARDINAL)791918; Castro, Andrea,1990-illustrator.; Wert, Yijin,translator.(CARDINAL)603902; Lu, Yajuan,narrator.(CARDINAL)883415; Container of (expression):Zhang, Xiaoling,1977-San ge he shang.; Library Ideas (Firm)(CARDINAL)892421;
Three monks live together at a small temple at the top of a mountain: a young monk, a skinny monk, and a fat monk. Three people means three pairs of hands to share the work--right? But it's not that simple. The young monk is happy to do all the work when he lives alone, hauling water up the mountain every day. But it gets harder to figure out who is responsible for this chore once his two new friends arrive. When nobody wants to fetch the water, all three monks become lazy. Even when they grow dirty and thirsty, they keep waiting for someone else to fetch the water they need--until one day a lightning storm comes and sets a tree on fire, threatening the temple they care for. Based on a Chinese proverb, this funny and wise story illustrates how teamwork always saves the day.Audio-enabled book reader device; headphone jack, external speaker, play/pause button, volume controls, page-turning controls, rechargeable battery.
