Synopsis

Grace Lin is the New York Times best-selling author of the Newbery Honor book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. In Ling & Ting, Lin crafts a charming tale about a pair of Chinese-American twins who insist that, despite their physical appearance, they are NOT alike. Ling can't use chopsticks, no matter how hard she tries. And Ting can't sit still-a characteristic that makes the twins more different than ever after a small mishap at the barbershop. "Lin . shows her versatility once again in an original book that tells its story clearly while leaving room for thought and discussion."-Booklist, starred review

Six short stories explore the activities of sisters Ling and Ting, who may be twins but aren’t exactly the same. For example, Ling makes smooth, tightly sealed dumplings while Ting makes full, fat dumplings. Working within the simple and repetitive sentence structures of the early reader genre, Lin......more

This was recommended as additional reading for my 5 yr old's lesson on Asia, and it was a good choice. Besides being a solid level 3 reader which is good practice for him, it tells about some of the customs typical in Asia such as using chopsticks. We plan on getting some chopsticks and having my so......more
