Reviews
"Capped with a promising recipe for Boy-Free Dumplings at the end, this crowd-pleaser will make a delicious storytime..."- American Library Association Booklist "[A] modern pourquoi tale... [The Story of Chopsticks is]rooted in Chinese culture and offers American readers an authentic glimpse of its traditions." - School Library Journal "Compestine's almost tongue-in-cheek tale [The Story of Noodles] is a nearly unbeatable combination of slapstick humor, fast pace, and food." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Traditional papercuts with strong black lines and vividly colored insets are perfectly suited to the kite images...With its folkloric tone, this provides a sense of fun to a China unit or stands on its own as a story about creativity." - Kirkus Reviews "Cut-paper illustrations are a fitting accompaniment to this amusing account of the discovery of papermaking. With bold black outlines and vivid coloration against a white, marbled background, the artwork captures the action as the boys exercise their ingenuity." - School Library Journal |
