What in the world
could you possibly see
at an old Gai See
just you and me
on a hot and steamy,
melt ice-creamy,
summery Sunday morning?
Experience the sights, smells, sounds, aromas and textures of a Chinese "street
market" in this poetic book that makes discoveries in each season: songbirds
and noodles in the spring, dragon fruit and slippers in summer, outdoor eateries
and incense in the fall, and hot tea and firecrackers in winter.
School Library Journal: "Thong crafts an evocative
introduction to aspects of Chinese culture through a child’s perspective."
Booklist: "The enticing picture-book tour will
elicit recognition from Chinese-American families and give others a chance to
visit a gai see vicariously."
