Tricky Chopsticks Reviews

"Chens use of onomatopoeia (represented in both English and Mandarin characters) perfectly conveys Jennys frustrations, while Liems appealing cartoon illustrations capture Jennys experiments in chopstick re-engineering with slapstick humor and cleverness. Young chopstick users will find comfort in this story about a common rite of passage, but all readers will be delighted by Jennys problem-solving prowess. . . A funny, relatable tale about the value of creative thinking and persistence." -- Kirkus Reviews
