exurbanis's review against another edition
4.0
Written by a past Prince Edward Island poet laureate, Chung Lee Loves Lobsters tells the story of Chung Lee who spent his working life on PEI cooking lobsters for tourists and other customers. Now that he’s retired, Chung Lee spends part of each of his monthly pension cheques to buy a live lobster from the restaurant where he used to work. Then he walks down to the beach and releases the lobster into the ocean.
I’m a little perplexed as to the message children will get from this book. Is it wrong to cook lobsters, or not? The people who own the restaurant now are nice people with two small sons; Chung Lee himself did so for decades. I’m still puzzling this one out.
