BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Sunday starts off as a disappointment for Yoomi. She can't watch her favorite show, have her favorite breakfast, or wear her favorite shirt. But, she does get to ride the bus with Daddy to Koreatown! There she can stop at the bookmobile, and try something new at the market, but a Fun day won't happen if they miss their visit to Grandma.
I loved the colorful illustrations representing Yoomi's cultural experiences in Koreatown. I loved that the store signs are in Korean, and know that a Korean child will recognize much more than I do - such a great mirror. Yoomi's family are represented as cats - but the "people" in Koreatown are all sorts of animals, not sure if this represents different cultures or different families. There are other Yoomi picture books in this series. Includes an explanation of Koreatown (K-town) and a recipe for Kimbap.
