Review:
Amy can do a lot of things
all at once. But, when it’s time for her family to make a bao, a delicious
pocket filled with meat and spices, she can’t seem to do a very good job. This time
it will be different. She helped prepare all of the ingredients with her dad,
mom, and grandma. When the bao making began, Amy still couldn’t seem to get the
bao in the right size or shape. After much disappointment, she realized that
the dough size was not Amy size. What do you think happened next?
This fun read about Mandarin
culture is beautifully illustrated with vibrant oversized images. Parents,
teachers and caregivers can share this story with kids to get them engaged
about a culture and food. Discussions about how they help with cooking would be
fun so kids can share their experiences.
