They order two baskets of three pork buns each, and plan to eat two each.  <\/p>\n<p>Then Luna accidentally drops one on the floor.  So they have five pork buns.  How will they divide them up?  Or should someone get more than everyone else?  After all, Luna is the birthday girl.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of problem \u2013 dividing up food \u2013 is near to kids\u2019 hearts.  And it\u2019s told in a story form, so their attention won\u2019t lag.<\/p>\n<p>There are notes in the back about Dim Sum and the Chinese Zodiac, with ideas for exploring the math.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m enjoying this series, where kids engage with math concepts in real-life ways.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.natashayim.com\/\">natashayim.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/violet-kim.format.com\/\">violet-kim.format.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/\">terc.edu<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/charlesbridge.com\/\">charlesbridge.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1623541999\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/lunas_yum_yum_dim_sum.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/lunas_yum_yum_dim_sum.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"Sonderbooks\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luna\u2019s Yum Yum Dim Sum by Natasha Yim illustrated by Violet Kim Charlesbridge, 2020. 32 pages.
