From a Happy Reading Mom

Another "hit" from Ying Chang Compestine! When I asked my eight year old what he liked best about The Story of Chopsticks, he proceeded to tell me the entire tale. Well, that's the best endorsement....is it not? As for me, anything that encourages thinking outside the box and reminds my young children to wash their hands before eating gets five stars from me!

30 minutes after reading it, u want to read it again

I was attracted to this book by the illustrations by Yongsheng Xuan, which are a folklike cross between classic paper cuttings and stained glass renderings. The story is Ying Chang Compestine's fantasy of how chop sticks (or Kuai-zi (KhWy-zzuh)) (quick sticks) were invented in imperial China over 3,000 years ago. In addition to the story, the reader gets instructions on how to use chopsticks and a recipe of rice pudding with mangoes, maple, cherries and pineapple. The story is interesting and it shows how the ingenuity of a child can be accepted by adults. It also shows how siblings can stand up for each other in the face of adult questioning, and how a family can commercialize an invention for future prosperity.
