Geraldine Pu and Her Lunch Box, Too!: Ready-to-Read… por Maggie P. Chang
I would recommend this book to elementary school students. This book is about a little girl who is learning to accept her differences in culture and that it's ok to be different from everyone else. This would be good in the classroom because it shows students that they can be themselves and represents diverse cultures and lets children see this in books.
This book could be used in a primary aged classroom.
This book is about a young girl named Geraldine who learns to accept who she is and her culture, even if it's different from everyone else.
I would use this book in my classroom as a choice book for young readers to read, and to introduce them to graphic novels. It is also a great book about diverse cultures and overcoming bullying.

Geraldine is a grade-school student who loves her lunchbox and the special meals her grandmother packs for her in it. That is, until a mean boy at school starts making fun of her 'strange' lunches and Geraldine starts wishing she has a 'normal' sandwich like every other kid at the lunch table.
This was such a great read for young readers on so many levels. This title is decidedly an early reader, but it is set up with panels like a graphic novel. The book therefore begins with a quick introduction to how talk/thought bubbles work and the order to read panels. It also has a short guide to some words used in the text that might be unfamiliar to new readers, e.g., that bao is a type of bun. This includes pronunciation support, although some of these words have their pronunciations in the text when first introduced as well.
The story itself lives in a similar space to The Sandwich Swap, in which young children learn to treat others' lunches with respect even if it's not what they themselves eat. The message is the crux of the story but it doesn't feel heavy handed. For instance, the word "bully" is never used, but the reader will understand the context easily.
The word play, the cheery illustrations, and the anthropomorphic lunch bag are all real treats that will keep young readers engaged. This book is made up of short chapters, so it will leave beginning readers feeling accomplished with having read a chapter book. It's also nice to see a book by and about a Taiwanese-American person, as I'm struggling to think of any other children's title reflecting that specific culture.… (más)
