Apple Pie Fourth of July

As an Asian American, I can relate to the little girl growing up. It's nice to see books like this written to represent how it might feel to grow up in a country different from that of your parent's culture. Good illustrations and great story! I would definitely put it on my list of books for children.

I did like the story. I read it to my 7 yearold son and we thought it was a good story to read. The little girl in the story did not think that her food that her parents prepared and sold would be something Americans ate on their holiday celebration of the 4th of July. How wonderful to be in America and have a place that makes oriental foods right down the street from whereever we live. The little girl is surprised that customers do start coming and her mother and father are quite busy preparing the food. The parents are not surprised, they seem to understand a little better than their daughter about the retaurant business in America. Americans love to eat!

The school teaches. Protects the eye or the book is good!

Loved the message of this book, and think it's one that my fourth grade students will easily relate to. A young girl is embarrassed by her parents cooking Chinese food at their convenience store on Independence Day, and then is surprised when they get numerous customers coming in to get some. Great message about what it is to be American and embracing your family's heritage and customs.

I bought this book for our preschool so that we would have something for the 4th of July. The book is good and the kids liked the story and the pictures.

Loved the story. Only one problem story states that there are 364 days in year instead of 365 .

good book

cute story.
