    About this ebook

    Подумал раз царь, что если бы он всегда знал время, когда начинать всякое дело; знал бы еще, с какими людьми надо и с какими не надо заниматься, а, главное, всегда знал бы, какое из всех дел самое важное, то ни в чем бы ему не было неудачи. И подумав так, царь объявил по своему царству, что он даст великую награду тому, кто научит его, как знать настоящее время для каждого дела, как знать, какие люди самые нужные, и как не ошибаться в том, какое дело изо всех дел самое важное.

      I love the story, love the illustrator, love the Tolstoy, especially love the gorgeous watercolors. I just can't get enough of Jon Muth's stuff.

      Beautifully illustrated story based on one written by Leo Tolstoy. Muth's interpretation and artistic style leaves me speechless and reflective every time.

      My kids and I enjoyed this book quite a bit. The illustrations are, of course, wonderful. I especially love the way the kite tail flies through the air.

      My kids' favorite character was Pushkin the dog, although their favorite part is when the monkey gets hit on the head with the coconut. It's possible they're missing the point of the story, but they did have some insights into why each friend was giving the answers he or she was giving ("Pushkin says that because he likes fighting," observed my daughter).

      We all liked Muth's Zen Shorts better than this one, but that's one of our favorite books all around, so it's not surprising that this one didn't rise quite as high in our estimation as that one.

      The author's note explains that he was inspired by Tolstoy's 1903 short story, "The Three Question," which has very different events.

      This is a compelling fable that teaches readers to be be your best. I liked his book because of this overall message that was delivered in an imaginative and effective way.

      The main idea of this book is to don’t worry about the future and live in the present. I liked this book for two reasons. First, the water colored illustrations of the book were very appealing and helped me visualize the story easily. The illustrations where it was raining and Nikolai had to help the panda were really cool! Lastly, I liked how the plot was setup. Nikolai asked his friends to help him, but were not much of help and Nikolai found his own answers with the help of Leo.

      The story is about a boy who is trying to find the answer to three questions with deep meaning. He goes on to ask his friends the answers but they can't help him or he is not satisfied with the answers. Little did he know than by showing kindness and compassion to someone he would find the answers he has been looking for. A very nice story with a deep message to discuss in the classroom.

      This is a good book to induce self reflection. The theme is very moving gets you thinking about your own life. The illustrator also added some other elements that would get you wondering if you missed something. You could use it in any class with any group.

      A boy asks his animal friends three compelling questions. Who is most important? What is the right thing to do? When is the right time? When his friends' answers do not satisfy him he turns to a wise old turtle who gently points the boy, Nikoli ,in the right direction. Nikoli finds out in the end that answers to his questions were inside him all along. Everyone should read this book!

      Nickoli had three questions he wanted answers to. He asked a few friends and they gave him answers he did not want to hear. He asked a tortoise and before he could answer Nickoli went rescue a panda and her cub. After his rescue mission his tortoise friend told Nickoli he had gotten the answers himself.

      This lovely modern work is inspired by a classic work of Leo Tolstoy's. Author and illustrator Jon Muth does a beautiful job of taking a universal concept and making it accessible to young children as they too ponder the importance of life and those they encounter.

      I liked this book for its value and the message. My 4-year old enjoyed the panda part.

      The illustrations themselves are almost worth a higher rating--beautiful water colors for a childrens book! The story itself is a philosophical one; if I were reading it to a child or to a class, I'd want to broaden the discussion immediately after reading it. Still, a neat (and beautiful) book!

      This book is about a young boy who searches for answers from a wise source to three questions he has about life. I would read this book to middle elementary students, this book has great illustrations and makes you think and learn about life lessons.

      Genre: Folktale
      Age: Intermediate
      Media: Watercolor
      Review: The life lesson given at the end of the story is about living in the now, which is an important aspect for folktales. Also, the boy helping the panda and her baby appeals to the child's sense of justice.
      Setting: Since there is a panda in the story, the reader can assume the story takes place in China. However, the setting is not necessarily described by the author; it is more set by the illustrator.

      Jon Muth was successful in his ability to take a story by a prolific writer Tolstoy and retell it in a children's storybook. He simplified the story by giving us a young boy and animals as the characters, using illustrations from watercolors and grayed out colors except for the red kite. The character Nikolai uses his curiosity and desire to wanting to be a better person, showing children that in times they will put aside their own wants for the benefit of others.

      Beautiful watercolors by Jon Muth, A thoughtful story with a boy wondering how to deal with what is the best time to do things, who to help, and who is most important. Based on stories from Tolstoy.

      This is a wonderful picture book for older students. While it is a beautiful picture book for all viewers, its true audience should be older readers. In it, Nikolai is a young boy who asks his animal friends for help with his "big" questions. Each brings a different perspective to the questions, but Nikolai is unsatisfied with their answers. Things change when he visits Leo the Turtle, where circumstances and a crisis help Nikolai to find the answers he seeks. This is an important book.

      I have been thinking about this book long after I read it. I enjoyed the peaceful pictures that fit the contemplative questions. I am not sure of why the image of the boy's red kite is so engrained in my head but it is. I will have to think about that more later. I am so impressed with the boy's helpful nature. He does not stop to ponder or wait for someone to ask for help, he just leaps into action. This is a book that all children could use as an example of kindness.

      I enjoyed this book. It could be used in an elementary classroom during a lesson on friendship, morals, and helping others. I especially like the ending ove the book, "There is only one important time, and that time is now. The most important one is always the one you are with. And the most important thing is to do good for the one who is standing at your side (Muth.)"

      Beautifully honors diversity in the pursuit of truth, resulting in the conclusion that the most important person is the one you are with, the most important time is now, and the most important thing to do is to care for the people around you.

    ТРИ ВОПРОСА

    Подумал раз царь, что если бы он всегда знал время, когда начинать всякое дело; знал бы еще, с какими людьми надо и с какими не надо заниматься, а, главное, всегда знал бы, какое из всех дел самое важное, то ни в чем бы ему не было неудачи. И подумав так, царь объявил по своему царству, что он даст великую награду тому, кто научит его, как знать настоящее время для каждого дела, как знать, какие люди самые нужные, и как не ошибаться в том, какое дело изо всех дел самое важное.

    Стали приходить к царю ученые люди и отвечали различно на его вопросы.

    На первый вопрос одни говорили, что для того, чтобы знать настоящее время для каждого дела, надо составить вперед расписание дня, месяца, года и строго держаться того, что назначено. Только тогда, говорили они, всякое дело будет делаться в свое время. Другие говорили, что нельзя вперед решить, какое дело делать в какое время, а надо не отвлекаться пустыми забавами, а всегда быть внимательным к тому, что случается, и тогда делать то, что требуется. Третьи говорили, что как ни будь внимателен к тому, что случается, одному человеку нельзя всегда верно решить, в какое время что нужно делать, а надо иметь совет мудрых людей и по этому совету решать: что в какое время делать. Четвертые говорили, что бывают такие дела, что некогда спрашивать советчиков, а надо сейчас решать: время или не время начинать дело. Для того же, чтобы знать это, надо вперед знать, что случится. А это могут знать только волхвы. И потому для того, чтобы знать настоящее время для каждого дела, надо спрашивать об этом волхвов.

    На второй вопрос отвечали так же различно. Одни говорили, что самые нужные царю люди это его помощники правители, другие говорили, что самые нужные царю люди это жрецы, третьи говорили, что самые нужные люди царю это врачи, четвертые, что нужнее всех людей для царя воины.

    Так же различно отвечали и на третий вопрос: какое дело самое важное? Одни говорили, что самое важное на свете дело это науки, другие говорили, что самое важное дело это военное искусство, третьи говорили, что важнее всего богопочитание.

    Все ответы были различны, поэтому царь не согласился ни с
