February 20th 2004 The tale has a nice idea, and you can see the appeal of wondering what you would paint with such a brush. However, overall, I think the book delivers a positive and warming message of community and good will and to avoid being greedy for good things to come your way. I read this book at a university based lecture and I will endeavour to purchase it for my daughter to read with her friends.This story book is wonderful and unique in its own right. A very beautifully illustrated but ultimately fairly dull book I’m afraid to say. The illustrations are gorgeous - they're the main reason that the story has stuck in my head so solidly - and I will definitely be revisiting this with my little one when she's old enough to appreciate it, as she wasn't too impressed by the traditional pastel-shaded drawings. To me, it was the immersive quality to the partnership between author and illustrator that held this story above previous reads from Donaldson. She is clearly instructed that the paintbrush will only work if she uses its abilities to help the poor. However the greedy Emperor hears of the child's gift and demands riches. This is a rhyming version of the traditional Chinese story in which a child called Shen who is given a magic paintbrush which will bring to life everything that she paints – provided she only paints things for the poor and needy not the rich. I know this is a short picture book but I would have liked at least some detail that might have given some background on the characters.

Shen refuses and is thrown into a prison. Perhaps it the traditional form to the illustrations and the atmosphere of powerful, ancient magic -which almost has a maturer edge compared to the bold and imaginatively fun texts like Stick Man or Tiddler (all of excellent potential). His voice changes into harsh voice and he mutters into Shen's ear that she should only paint for the poor not the wealthy.

I just love the way Julia Donaldson writes a fantastic book but adds the feature of morals and hidden messages. Shen helps the people by painting objects that they require in order to directly help them or to become more independently sustainable.
Such a wonderfully written and illustrated story, a true gem.Beautiful illustrations, poetic language, diversity of story and characters, a clear and kind message... What's not to love?Beautiful pictures and a wonderful tale of a girl who can paint magical pictures that become real.I love the story and illustration but books based on traditional tales need sourcing please!Excellent book for 5-6 year olds.

She gets captured by the emperor, who demands that she paint gold for him, but she manages to outwit him and escape. The story is about a girl called Shen who is given the amazing gift of a magic paintbrush. I also find myself drawn to the illustrations, slightly muted in tone with characters drawn as if not to be noticed on the page.
