The Ugly Dumpling by Stephanie Campisi

4.0

Finally! An illustrated story of a dumpling that I never knew I needed! When a dumpling is overlooked in a dim sum restaurant, an outgoing cockroach comes to the rescue. Together they explore the varied landscape of the bustling restaurant. The illustrations were so clever and really elevated the story! Flames from a wok spell out sounds, piles of dirty dishes look like shimmering china towers, and hanging red lanterns became the perfect vantage point to take in the view. You'll have to check out this book to see what happens next. But sometimes, all we need is a new perspective.
