Boy Dumplings
A Tasty Chinese Tale
"Exciting storytelling and Chinese culinary traditions create a delicious book for young readers."—San Francisco Chronicle
This hilarious tale is redesigned, featuring revised illustrations and a new bilingual simplified Chinese translation.
Long ago in old Beijing, a hungry ghost finds a boy, who doesn't want to become a midnight snack! What wackiness ensues when the child tempts the ghost to make the tricky "Boy Dumplings" recipe?
"This exciting and witty Chinese folktale will leave readers hungry for the end of the story and for dumplings as well!" - Good English
