(3) K-3 The young narrator describes a typical Saturday at his father's Chinese takeout restaurant. The realistic watercolor illustrations, based on photos of this actual Brooklyn restaurant, offer an insider's view of the tasks performed by the narrator and his relatives. The book is well conceived and designed, from its reproduced-menu endpapers to the funny self-portraits of Lewin enjoying his favorite Chinese dish (recipe included).
