Summary: Where is MY copy!!!!
Review: I ordered this in December for my niece and just recently placed an order for myself after my sister in law told me that they loved it! One of the aunties had given my sister in law a char siu bao that day and she put it into the fridge thinking "No one's gonna eat this!" But then they read the book to my niece and she instantly wanted to eat a char siu bao! Luckily they had one on hand! She loved the char siu bao and the book! I had sent her a collection of books from amazon all chinese children's books and I'm eternally grateful that my niece now has a newfound grasp of her heritage! If you are asian american or have adopted an asian child- please get these books while they're still in print! I'm terrified that i won't get a copy of this to read to my future children!

Summary: My favorite kid's book!
Review: I was so glad to see this book back in print. I love it. It has the best message (about sharing one's culture). My kids had the first edition when they were little and it was their favorite story. My son took it to school and his teacher still asks to borrow it to read to her class every year.

Summary: A Must Have for Your Library!
Review: This book is a favorite in my house and now I have my own "Char Siu Bao Boy"-- my youngest son. We love Sandra Yamate's story about Henry's love of the little steamed pork buns and his attempt to try foods the other kids like. It teaches a wonderful lesson about trying other foods. I read this to my son's kindergarten class and brought some char siu bao for the children to try. Now we have a few more fans of this tasty dim sum treat in Northern Virginia.
