Ashley Bartholomew's Reviews > Apple Pie 4th of July

This book is appropriate for primary grades. It is about a girl whose parents own a store. The parents make their Chinese food and the girl keeps telling them that people do not eat that type of food on the Fourth of July. Around dinner time she was shocked to see lines of people eating their food at the store. I could use this book in my classroom for a read aloud. This book is beneficial because it shows that one culture values another culture. A dangerous thing about this book is that is sort of portray's foreigners as not knowing about the new culture they are in but then at the end, this is shown to be not true.
