Product Description
In English, dim sum means “little hearts,” or “touches the heart,” but to this young girl, dim sum means delicious. On a visit to a bustling dim sum restaurant, a family picks their favorite little dishes from the steaming trolleys filled with dumplings, cakes, buns, and tarts. And as is traditional and fun, they share their food with each other so that everyone gets a bite of everything.
Just right for young children, Dim Sum for Everyone! celebrates a cultural custom and a universal favorite activity–eating!

 A Valentine's Day gift for my daughter February 14, 2008
Jean (Westchester, NY)
We already have a number of other books by Grace Lin and decided to buy this one for my 5.5 year-old daughter. She kept thanking me for it! Being the Jie-Jie (older sister), she related to the one in the story while her younger 4 year-old sister related to the Mei-Mei. They tried to "pretend" they enjoyed the same food items as the sisters in the story. My daughter loved the pictures of the dim sum items and we all could recall our own dim sum adventures. I'm really hoping this sparks a creative cooking talent in both girls as well. The illustrations are cheerful and good enough to make me want some dim sum soon!

My 3-year old daugher loves Grace Lin books with colorful pages. I think she likes seeing the same family in many of Ms. Lin's books.

I bought this book for a classroom lesson on Multiculturalism, I included a puppet with the book and the students loved it. This is a great book, and a must have for all teachers and classrooms.

This is a fantastic book to teach young children about the Chinese brunch called dim sum. It has excellent illustrations and even has the correct names for some of the most popular dim sum dishes. My husband who is Chinese loves to buy this book for our god children and read it to them before we have dim sum! I completly recomend this book for anyone but especially those who are interested in the Chinese culture.
 Dim Sum for Everyone is OK August 3, 2005

I expected a little more from this book. A little more storyline, a little more dialogue, a little more substance. I think for an early intro to Dim Sum this books does the job, but lacks a real story. The brief history at the end included good info.
