Dim Sum for Everyone!

My niece loved this easy read book great for teaching kids about Chinese dim sum

My daughter LOVES this book. Simple text, beautiful illustrations, just a really lovely book about a Chinese family going out for dim sum and the different dishes they pick. We spend ages on the first double page spread which is an illustration of lots of different ingredients and their names and we play "can you find the soy sauce/ scallions/ taro/ ginger/ teapot..." Great for vocabulary building. Also good to see Chinese girls represented in books just doing normal family stuff.

Returned not what I thought.

Bought this as a gift for my nieces who absolutely loved this! Great introduction to cantonese cuisine for children and super nostalgic too!

Lavishly illustrated and lovingly presented on each single-lined page is Grace Lin's DIM SUM FOR EVERYONE that offers a quick course for young palette ages 2-5 about traditions of dim sum (small dishes of food; literally translated as touch of heart) and yum cha (tea drinking). Pork buns, shrimp dumpling, sesame balls and spring rolls, this book with a family of four will teach your kids about how to say dad, mom, older sister and younger sister in Chinese. Deceitfully simple, it is a feast to the eyes and a sweet companion to a dim sum restaurant.
