Before we put E to bed we read to him at night. He picks out a book and then sidles up to where I’m sitting, clutching it to his chest, and ask “Up, please!” Sitting in the rocking chair with him on my lap and his head resting against my cheek reading books is one of the highlights of my day.
Bee-Bim Bop!
The rhymes are pretty catchy; enough so that E can easily follow along. And the illustrations are cute. And there’s even a recipe for bibimbap in the back of the book. (I haven’t tried it out yet, though. When I make it I use my family’s recipe.)
It’s a great book to read with little kids, especially if they’re interested in different types of food or have Korean heritage.
We loved (and still love) Bee Bim Bop! That reminds me, we need to try that recipe in the back! It seems so complicated with all the prep… 😀 The non-cook in me is scared.
We tried the recipe in the back and it was pretty tasty… but I'd love your family recipe, too, Faith!
I love that downy little head against my cheek reading stories, too. The best part of the day.
hahah faith, this is such a funny book! i've never heard of children's books about korean cuisine. def need to pick up a copy when we have kids ;]
that is such a cute story. When E was visiting with us, he wanted to be UP so he could see everything – especially our clock. It was so fun to pick him up and listen to his excitement as he exclaimed over everything. He is a darling boy!
Myrna, E STILL talks about your cuckoo! You were so sweet to watch him.
