      Good one. Different country's different food name and style with rice. It's good that they're recipe of those foods at the end. ??
    • 5/5
      This is a multicultural book. Great for teaching multicultural appreciation.
    • 4/5
      In my opinion this is a good book, because it is well written. You can read the book in English and Spanish which is amazing. This helps the reader see the difference in the text. The book had great illustrations that, I enjoyed looking at I think it has been a while since I have sat down to read a multicultural illustrated book so it was nice to see these nice illustrations. The author did a great job by having colorful pictures because it made the book stand out. This book really pushes readers to think about diversity and the difference in cultures. The big idea of this book was for the reader to be able to see and understand that there are different cultures and languages. While the families cook you can see the diffrence in their homes with the rice they cook.

      I had mixed feelings about this book after reading it. I liked the book because of the characters. In this story, there are many different cultures which the reader is exposed to when reading this story. The language is very thorough. It goes into detail about the different types of cooking and rituals different families have. The reader is introduced to many different neighbors from Puerto Rico, Vietnam, India and China. What I did not like is the amount of text there was on each page. On some pages there were paragraphs written, while on others it was just one paragraph. It could be a big adjustment for students to deal with switching from so much text to a little bit of text. The big message of the story was to show readers how diverse, but similar cultures can be. Each family was from a different part of the world, but each family was cooking rice that particular night. It is interesting for a reader to see the similarities and differences between cultures.
    • 4/5
      This is a great book that shows the various groups of cultures that eat rice. This little girl goes around the neighborhood looking for her brother. She meets different neighbors from different cultures and they are all eating different kinds of rice. ( they give recipes for them too!)
