Summary: wonderfully illustrated
Comment: The beauty of this book is in the brightly colored llustrations. Every page sports a bright red background with equally bright pictures. The story is about a family of five that goes out for a dim sum meal -- each person chooses what he or she likes. The pictures depict a real-looking family eating in real family fashion -- one child reaching in front of one another to grab an egg tart, one child sticking chopsticks in her mouth like walrus tusks. After the meal, the children all look sleepy and contented as Dad reaches for the bill.
The text of the book isn't particularly catchy; it is very simple and it refers to the dim sum without using any Chinese words.

Summary: "two shoes"
Comment: My 2 yr old son absolutely loves this book! He can recite every single page!
I grew up speaking Cantonese and I didn't know how to pronounce all the dim sum dishes, but Ms. Lin has helped by listing the most popular dim sum dishes with the English translation and Cantonese pronunciations at the end of the book.
This book also contains very colorful illustrations and a little descriptive history on dim sum.
As for "two shoes", that is what seems to come out of my son's mouth whenever he tries to say "dishes". :)

Summary: Yum!
Comment: This book is the perfect introduction to dim sum. If you haven't tried it yet, take this book to a dim sum restaurant and use it to help pick your dishes--if you point to the picture of the dish on the endpapers, the waiters are sure to know what you want! Kids will love it, too. If you extra-daring, try the chicken feet! My favorite dish is the turnip or radish cake.
I love Grace Lin's work--I have all of her books!
