Love Dim Sum
Bought this book to get my kids excited about dim sum since it's a personal favorite. Every time we read it, we read it like 6 times! They can relate to the story and points out that we order some of the same items!

Helps picky eaters
My oldest is a super picky eater. I bought this book after reading that it could help to talk about food in order to help picky eating. It helped! My 4 year old got excited about the new foods he saw in this book and tried some of them. It has colorful animations that my son loves pointing out different things on, and it’s short and sweet. Definitely recommend

Surprising Hit
Got this book a month or so in an Amazon book subscription box for my 17 month old. I got the subscription so we could get some books that may not be on the radar, and this is definitely one that fits the bill. I do want him to have exposure to other cultures and we eat A LOT of all types of Asian food, so I figured this would be a good one to keep in our box.It arrived and I was a little underwhelmed. As another reviewer mentioned, it doesn't really explain a ton about dim sum (in a kid friendly way in the body of the book). The sentences are really short and the book is quite short, even for a book for a toddler.All of that said, my son LOVES this book. He gets to select his own books at bedtime (out of maybe 15-20 available in his room), and he is currently pulling it out on a nightly basis as one of the top 3 books we must read...again...and again...and again. ;) I'm not sure what he loves about it, but he does. I am considering getting others from this author if only so I can read about something other than dim sum every night of the week. ha, ha! Who knows if he's grasping anything about dim sum, but without a doubt, he loves this book.The book is probably 2-3 stars from me, but I'm not a child. ;) He'd give it a 6!

My Kid Loves this Book and Eats More Food!
We first borrowed this board book from the local library for our 1-year-old baby. He loved it, and would eat more food while reading this book.After one year, I saw this book on Amazon and bought it for my little 2-year-old toddler. He still loves it and reads it again and again!Now, he recognizes the characters and says their names. He wants us to tell him more about the dim sum dishes. This book is very helpful and delightful, and I hope the author Grace Lin will produce more board books.

My class loves this book!
I used it in my music classroom with a little song to go with it. I made a word wall too!

Lovely simple story about eating 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.

A delightful board book for foodies in general and dim sum lovers in particular!
You will be transported to a typical bustling Cantonese dim sum restaurant when reading this book. A mouthwatering book that introduces children to some classic dim sum dishes: turnip cakes, fried shrimp, sweet pork buns, sweet tofu, and egg tarts. A must for foodies and dim sum lovers!

Cute book!
I like books from this author - helps my daughter understand her own culture more. She loves the drawings and it's very relate able.

Short and sweet
My daughter is half Chinese and I wanted her to learn about dim sum since we can't safely go out for it. She is 13months and loves it! I especially like how it explains the origin of dim sum at the end.
