To Grandmother's House: A Visit to Old-Town Beijing

32 pp. | Gibbs Smith | January, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4236-0283-5 $15.95
(4) K-3 This book follows a girl and her cousin though the city of Beijing on their way to make jiaozi (dumplings) with their grandmother. The text isn't subtle about its agenda: information-sharing trumps storytelling. Pictures of the cousins are stiffly posed; however, the photographs of contemporary Beijing are a visual feast. The text is printed in English and Mandarin. A recipe is appended.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
