Mei Fuh: Memories from China

(4) K-3 This old-fashioned account of a young American girl growing up in China "a very long time ago" is rich in detail, and the incidents described have child-appeal: Mei Fuh raises silkworms while recuperating from a burn; she visits other families at mealtimes to be fed the Chinese food her parents forbid. The anecdotes are appealing, but there is too little narrative to pull them together.
