A book that makes me crave dumplings something fierce but my daughter seems to like the rhymes and pink and red colors throughout. The book explains in a zippy text all about Dim Sum. It’s a board book targeted to babies.  It’s really useful to use to teach children about foods they may be unfamiliar with. There is even a little appendix with Chinese words for all the items mentioned in the book like tea, rice and tarts.]]> 2022-05-06 21:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/murphykelly2018/xm329h4libcxbz72/wish/2173466834 murphykelly2018 https://padlet.com/murphykelly2018/xm329h4libcxbz72/wish/2173467519 Author: Norah Dooley
