International Literature #1- Mo's Mischief by Yang Hongying


The Mo's Mischief series was written by Yang Hongying, a very popular children's writer in China.  She has sold over nineteen million books since the year 2000.  Books from this series are some of her most popular titles.  They were first published in China and later published by HarperCollins in New York.

The most sold title in the series is Pesky Monkeys.   In Pesky Monkeys, Mo travels to his grandparents' home in the countryside.  Mo enjoys rollerskating, playing with dogs, and seeing many rare animals while on his visit. 

The book details plenty of adventures that will peak kids' interest.  The chapters are short and include tons of pranks in the content that kids will find very funny.  Even though this series doesn't seem very educational, it may appeal to boys that are reluctant to read.
