Join Little Shu on a magical adventure filled with dragons, dumplings, and a brand-new dim sum experience!

When Little Shu arrives for a dim sum lunch with all her relatives at a busy restaurant, it’s overwhelming! She's not quite sure how to join in with her chatty, boisterous family, and she doesn't know how to read the menu, which is in Chinese. But then her aunt whisks her away on a fantastical adventure to learn about each dish. A friendly dog explains what soup dumplings are, a fluffy bunny gives her delicious buns, a cheerful pig offers a chive-stuffed pancake, and a curious snake presents chili wontons. With the animals' help, Little Shu returns to the table confident and eager to share the delicious dim sum feast with her family.

This exciting, inspiring tale includes an author's note that gives a description of each dish featured in the story, the Chinese name of each food, and a pronunciation guide.
