The House of Sixty Fathers Meindert DeJong Maurice Sendak Books

This is a heartbreaking story, even though it has a “good” ending. The young protagonist endures and persists against all odds, and his adventures are sometimes heart-stopping. Boys and girls alike will be swept away in the emotional tides of the book, but I would save the book for 10 or 11 year olds. Younger may not be able to appreciate or filter through the hardships without undue worry or sadness. The little duckling that falls out of the dishpan when the protagonist sends it on its way is very much like the boy. Separated from his family and facing a very grim outlook. Apparently, the boy this story is based on did not have the happy ending provided in this book. Older children may be able to compare the story ending with reality then, and now, (Syria, Aleppo etc.) regarding the terrible fates of children in war. The saddest and most poignant part of the book, on which all else lies is the scene when the protagonist must send the ducklings off on their own, as he can no longer safely carry them with him. “…The little duckling was chasing the dishpan, scrambling desperately to get out of the big river back into its little dishpan home. When he (the protagonist) saw that, Tien Pao’s lips trembled. He turned away, and looked no more toward the river.” The protagonist recognized himself in the little duckling. A wonderful book about family, love, perseverance, hardship, independence, growth and hope.

The House of Sixty Fathers Meindert DeJong Maurice Sendak Books Reviews

Too intense for young readers, but a nice peek into WWII China. It's a good read - not just for kids.
I read hundreds of books to my children as they were growing up. This story sticks out in my memory. So I purchased it for my son and his family.
Great book. My kids love it! Boom was in good condition.
Flawed but exciting. No real child could do what this one did, but the premise is wonderful and the ideas are real
I bought this for my seven-year-old so we could read it together. I love to read as a kid and now I'm in my late 40s and this is one of the only books I can remember from the summer I read over 25 books. It was a really good story can't wait to read it again!
Some stories just stick with you. I read this book multiple times as a child and finally decided to own a copy. I felt like I was experiencing everything Tien Pao experienced. I think parents should read thus with their child. Children may experience the same thing I did and will need someone to talk with.
Its sad at first, but then it gets interesting, exiting, suspenseful and so unbelievable. I highly recommend it!
1 of the morals was NEVER give up! We read it for our homeschool read-aloud, its great and we beg for more chapters!
