Introduce your bitty babes to their first counting book that not only captures their attention and teaches them counting in two languages, but also celebrates Chinese culture!

"Extremely adorable cut-paper collage illustrations plate up the food, each piece with a cute face and unique expression...This sturdily constructed, irresistible board book is a must-purchase for any library serving a Chinese community."—Booklist, Starred Review

Counting in two languages is so much fun with our dim sum friends!

Dim sum is everyone's favorite late-morning-to-lunchtime meal shared between family and friends. Our counting book utilizes dim sum's little dishes, accompanied by a pot of tea, as the subject for children to practice their counting. Children and adults alike will be delighted to find their favorite snacks included in the book as they turn each page.

Our counting book squeezes in lots of extra learning opportunities and skills, such as encouraging one-to-one correspondence while practicing counting on a numberline, extra fun facts about Chinese language, and a non-fiction page with real-life pictures of dim sum items in the picture glossary.

Parents will adore this eye-catching bilingual Chinese-English read due to its effortless integration of Chinese culture through the introduction of everyone's favorite dim sum dishes. Children will love the vibrant colors and the expressive faces in the artwork which help to make learning so much fun for everyone!

Industry Reviews
One pot of tea, 2 lotus-wrapped rice, 3 beef rice rolls, and 4 BBQ pork buns kick off this delectable introduction to counting and Chinese cuisine—and the snacks keep coming until readers reach 10 sesame balls. Extremely adorable cut-paper collage illustrations plate up the food, each piece with a cute face and unique expression, which rests against a solid-color background. Each double-page spread contains a surprising amount of information for its simple, uncluttered layout. The featured number is printed in a large, white font—both as a numeral and written out—beneath which the food name is written in a slightly smaller, yellow font. For the Chinese portion of the bilingual text, Mandarin is used with traditional characters, Zhuyin (phonetic notation), and Pinyin (Romanized spellings), and Cantonese and simplified Chinese editions will be released in February 2024. Along the bottom of each spread is a counting line that highlights the numbers already learned, reinforcing the sequence and vocabulary, and a dim sum picture glossary concludes with labeled food photos. This sturdily constructed, irresistible board book is a must-purchase for any library serving a Chinese community.
