Good for kids to learn with

I think that the first man did not know anything about this series for kids. it is a good book for begining to learn cooking chinese food. it even says reading level 9-12!!!...

A Good Introduction

In response to the first reviewer, I want to point out that this title is a children's book. It offers background needed to give upper grade elementary age children a sense of place. The number and variety of recipes is appropriate for the age range of the intended audience, and boiled dumplings are included, by the way. Recipes for this crowd need to be simple and straightforward. It also offers a glossary of cooking terms and a list of more unusual ingredients and where to find them. There is also a list of safety tips, although there is no reminder to have an adult present when using a stove or sharp knives. Hopefully, parents would have addressed this. Overall, I think this is a good introduction for children ages 10 and above.
