Dim Sum for Everyone!

Grace Lin. Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, $14.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-375-81082-4

After waxing poetic about the advantages of a vegetable garden in The Ugly Vegetables, author/artist Grace Lin describes the pleasures of a Chinese dining tradition in Dim Sum for Everyone. From sweet pork buns to little egg tarts, the plentiful dishes arrive on metal carts for a grand smorgasbord. An endnote offers a brief history of dim sum; endpapers show the wide spectrum available for sampling.
