Like the other two graded readers I've read in this series, this book does a great job of telling an engaging story while also repeating vocab in a way that helps you learn. I found that this book has some good vocab related to farming (like the words for seed, plow, corn, etc), and it has the best character interactions that I've read so far in this series (the other two books I've read are this series' versions of 画上的美人 and 白蛇传). All of the characters have a distinct personality. While they weren't super fleshed out due to how short the story is, I still found myself caring about them and connecting with them!
