The illustrations convey the sense of urgency the protagonist feels as she anticipates her favorite meal. Not just any dinner, but Bee-Bim Bop, an appealing Korean dish that translates to ''mix-mix rice.'' The rhythm of this poem is irresistible and the little protagonist adorable. I recommend this book for children over 3 yearsĪ young Korean girl is 'Hungry hungry hungry for some Bee-Bim Bop.' That is the refrain to this catchy, upbeat poem about a girl and her mother preparing dinner for their family.

I would emphasize from this book the rhythmicity of the words, the importance of preserving the culture, the intentionality of giving help at home. Bee-Bim-Bop book will have a positive reception by children because it has a fun title, allows them to participate, and children can identify with the girl who wants to help in the preparation of food. Additionally, the background drawing is related to elements known to the child such as the supermarket, the kitchen or the dining room. The illustrations are detailed and colorful. Also,this book supports and perpetuates the Korean culture through the elaboration of its typical dish. This is a book that allows the reinforcement of words that rhyme. Taking into account the types of books, this can be described as an interactive book since children can participate in the repetition of sentences like 'Hungry, hungry, hungry for more Bee-Bim-Bop'. The story is about a girl who tells with great joy the necessary ingredients and the preparation of a traditional Korean dish called Bee-Bim Bop. On Friday of that week (after the kids have all completed their special homework project), each kid will create a book in class similar to Bee-Bim-Bop!, chronicling their own experience of cooking a meal with their families.I like this book because it has the power to invite the child to participate in reading through rhythmic words. This works perfectly with our district's new homework policy, which has shifted the homework focus in the primary grades from worksheets to more age appropriate activities (cooking is named as an example). The students and parents must go shopping together to buy the foods and then cook the meal together at home. My thought is to nix regular homework for one week and assign a special homework project, in which the students will select their favorite meal. After reading this, I thought this would be perfect to incorporate into the classroom! Together, she and her mom go to the market to buy the ingredients and cook the food together at home. It's so cute! It's about a little girl who's super excited to make some bibimbop. I was looking for some Korean books for kids that I could use in my classroom and I stumbled across Bee-Bim-Bop! by Linda Sue Park.
