Hiro wants to make the perfect bowl of ramen, like his father and grandfather before him. He watches his father’s process step-by-step and takes careful notes. Can Hiro make the perfect bowl of ramen, for everyone?

This is a really adorable exploration of growth mindset, cleverly disguised as one child’s attempt to make ramen. Also, the way the illustrations work within the story, it could be a great way to introduce literary ideas like verbs, onomatopoeia, and adjectives.
