BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
A young Chinese girl leaves her mama's house to buy meat for wonton soup. On the way to the market, she passes many villagers going about their business. She greets them all with "Zao an". Most of them give her something to eat to put in her basket. She thanks them, and continues to the market. When she finally makes it home, they have more food than she and her mama can eat. Then the young girl thinks of a wonderful idea.
Mama's Special Wonton Soup is a charming story about sharing with each other. I enjoyed the peaceful rural life portrayed, and the restful color pallet of the storytelling illustrations.
