The Man Who Tricked a Ghost by Laurence Yep

I enjoyed this retelling of a Chinese folktale because I have always been fascinated by Chinese culture, both current and ancient.  Tiki Tiki Tembo by Arlene Mosel is another one of my favorites.  In The Man Who Tricked a Ghost, a man named Sung, who is not afraid of anything, encounters a ghost on his way back home from a friend's house.  The ghost intends to scare him, but Sung gets the best of him and turns him into a sheep.  I love a story with a hero!
