Chinese Menu: The History, Myths, and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods by Grace Lin

informative lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

Listened to the audio version (after having read the physical copy last fall) because this was named an Odyssey Honor book at the 2024 Youth Media Awards. It's awesome! The narration is well done, including sound effects and correct pronunciations of the Chinese terms/characters that are included throughout the physical book. This would be fun to listen to while reading/looking at the pictures in the hard copy it's just a beautiful book and the audio definitely adds another layer.
