Praise for The Story of Noodles
"Xuan’s colourful illustrations with their thick, bold outlines are eye-catching and complement the text in both books by highlighting the specific situations that are currently occurring. In some instances, they contribute to the story’s humour..."
-- CM magazine "Back from The Story of Chopsticks , the Kang brothers are in for another culinary misadventure." — Publishers Weekly "Xuan's softly colored, cut-paper figures smile and stand in informal positions, reflecting the infectiously humorous tone. What will the young Kangs dream up next?" — ALA. Booklist |
