I love this! Reminded me of an old favorite, [b:Dumpling Soup|893829|Dumpling Soup|Jama Kim Rattigan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344269464l/893829._SX50_.jpg|879053], that we like to read around New Year's Eve.

My family frequents a restaurant where you can watch through a window as the cooks make xiaolongbao. My daughter somehow thinks it looks easy (a compliment to the cooks I suppose), so someday we'll have to try to make it ourselves and she can see how challenging it actually is. There's a great video on the author's website showing how bao are made from start to finish. ( )

A very cute picture book both about food but also: sometimes the problem is scaling!

Recipe at the end but didn't try so I don't know if it's any good. ( )

This story follows Amy making bao with her family. She experiences struggles to make the best bao, learns her own skills and capability. This would help to show students different cultures and sharing foods from their own culture. I could use this book in a K-3rd grade classroom. ( )

This book would be a great read aloud for primary aged students.
This book is about a young girl named Amy Wu, and she is making bao with her parents and grandmother. She struggles with making the perfect bao, but she perseveres and eventually learns how to make the perfect bao by adjusting it to fit her own skills.
I would use this book in the classroom as a fun read aloud book to show my students different cultures and foods within different cultures. This book shows the process of making bao, which is a Chinese cuisine, and it would be a great resource for showing students an aspect of Chinese culture through food.

This book is good for a primary age group. It tells the story of a young Chinese girl making bao with her family and trying to make the perfect bun. I would have it in my classroom to encourage students to try new food and learn about other cultures.
