In an attempt to teach Ivy about different cultures, I decided to do some research on Chinese New Year's.
Dim Sum for Everyone by Grace Lin is a beautifully illustrated book about dim sum, or little dishes of food. Each member of the family chooses a small plate of food. They then all enjoy a meal together. The vivid colors and beautiful illustrations caused Ivy to ask me to read this five times tonight. There is not much text - mainly pictures. Ivy was especially thrilled to learn that one does not say thank you to the waiters - one just taps three fingers on the table!
