Simple but brilliant


As an avid reader myself I am obviously addicted to buying books for my daughter as I am hopeful she will at least pick up one good trait from me minus my shining personality. I recently stumbled upon this fairly new book by Newberry Medal winner Linda sue Park entitled Bee-bim Bop! This book is about the traditional Korean dish and is essentially a recipe set to fun words and great illustrations (Ho Baek Lee).

It is a nice introduction to Korean culture for my half-Korean daughter but at the end of the day is it also just a fun book. A few other notable kids books for those of you with little ones:

  • Magic Thinks Big (Elisha Cooper)
  • T Is for Terrible (Peter McCarty)
  • Mahjong All Day Long (Ginnie Lo)

And of course anything by Dr. Seuss. Jack London also works well for my daughter but to each his own.
