Dim Sum Palace

Author and illustrator: X. Fang

A fun, imaginative picture book, where Liddy dreams all about food because she's going to Dim Sum Palace tomorrow! In her dreams, she's at risk of being turned into a dumpling herself, so she'd better be careful! This book has brilliant Maurice Sendak style illustrations, and illustrated endpapers showing lots of different kinds of delicious dim sum.
