Cleversticks (Hardcover)

Illus. in full color. Ling Sung dreads going to school. There are too many
things the other kids can do that he can't. When he discovers everyone admires
his ability to use chopsticks, Ling Sung is empowered. "Ashley's point, that
all children are good at something, is well made and should be reassuring to
young listeners. Brazell's colorful mixed-media illustrations reflect an urban
environment with a fully international cast of characters. A good choice for
children just starting school--appropriate for classroom story hours or for
parent/child sharing."-- "Booklist.
