Praise for Boy Dumplings
“A fun, slightly spooky twist on the classic tale of a small child outwitting a villain”
-- School Library Journal “… charming, whimsical fairy tale” — Midwest Book Review “Children will delight in the ghost’s gullibility…. Compestine’s haunting tale is an entertaining, not-too-scary offering.” — Publisher’s Weekly …a classic trickster tale, developing both characters and premise with humor.” — Kirkus Reviews “Capped with a promising recipe for Boy-Free dumplings at the end, this crowd-pleaser will make a delicious storytime…” — ALA Booklist “Exciting storytelling and Chinese culinary traditions create a delicious book for young readers.” — San Francisco Chronicle “… HYSTERICAL! A wonderful ‘trickster tale,’ I can’t wake to make the dumpling recipe!” — Marla Conn, Readability |
