The lucky little one in this book is enjoying dim sum (family-style Chinese teahouse food according to the glossary on the back cover). The delightful collage illustrations introduce a variety of oriental delicacies such as ha gau (steamed shrimp dumplings), scallion pancakes, stuffed dau fu (tofu), siu mai (basket shaped dumplings of mixed pork shrimp and mushrooms) and lots more. All of these delicious tid bits are accompanied by cups of steaming oolong tea. Sanger has created all of the images with cut paper and fabric. If you have never had a chance to indulge yourself, this board book just might get Mom, Pop and the kids off to their nearest dim sum restaurant. This board book is a nice addition to collections featuring ethnic foods as well as an introduction to a facet of Chinese culture. 2003, Tricycle Press/Ten Speed Press, Ages 1 to 5.— Marilyn Courtot
