This colorfully illustrated children's book tells a Chinese fairy
tale about the monkey king and his attempt to capture the moon. One
night, the monkey king saw the moon in the night sky and desired to
have it for himself. He ordered all the monkeys to climb to the top
of the mountain and form a monkey ladder, standing on one another's
shoulders. The smallest monkey was on top, trying to pluck the moon
from the sky. The little monkey tried hard but simply could not
reach it. The king, looking down in disappointment, saw the moon in
a pool down below. Jumping up into a tree, the king clasped hold of
a sturdy branch with his legs and hung downwards. Then, one by one,
the monkeys held one another's feet until the long line of hanging
monkeys reached the surface of the water. The little monkey reached
into the water to scoop up the shining moon, but all he got was...a
few drops of water.
One day, a school of tadpoles were born, and the first thing they
asked was, "Who is our mother?" With that, the tadpoles start

tortoise and even a big catfish for their mother, the tadpoles
eventually find their real mom-a frog. The water-ink animations of
China in the 1950s and 1960s were treasures in the world's
animation field. Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother was one of the
representative works.
