BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Soba deliverymen bring Japanese soup and noodles all over the city. The chefs are up early, making the noodles and broth, but the deliverymen on bicycles, with bowls stacked high on their shoulders, are a sight to see! When will we get ours?
I couldn't believe it! They were stacked so high, I was reminded of "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" but apparently this is for real. There's a photograph right at the beginning. Wow. Gracey Zhang's illustrations are fun, with lots of children admiring the deliverymen. I loved the story as well. Looking forward to reading this again. The children and and workers are Japanese.
