Overview

This is the mystical story of Ping, a frog with a proud heritage who’s ignored the signs of his pond drying up around him, and is stuck in the mud. Forced to leave his home, he makes a leap into the unknown, unprepared for what lies ahead. He’s saved by the elderly, wise Owl, who teaches him physical and mental skills, enabling him to set goals and pursue his dreams despite many setbacks along the way.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
A glib amalgamation of Taoism, business advice and self-help axioms, this brief, cutely illustrated business parable seeks to capture fans of Who Moved My Cheese? Gold (Tiger Heart, Tiger Mind, etc.) follows the adventures of a frog named Ping, who's forced into risky adventure when his pond dries up, compelling him to seek out a new place to hop. Along his search, Ping comes under the tutelage of Owl, a wise old bird who teaches Ping about "the Way" and the "intentional life" and who often speaks in Yoda-ish constructions (e.g., "Persistent you are. I'll grant you that"). Meditation sessions with Owl lead Ping to a host of revelations, including the promise that he "will build [his] risk-taking confidence, starting with small risk, working [his] way up until [he is] comfortable and confident in the taking of larger risks." Inspiring to some, soporific to others, this book will probably move fastest at airport bookstores. (Dec.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

From The Critics
PING combines the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? with Jonathan Livingston Seagull...Stuart Gold's writing style is moving and witty.
