About this title

Synopsis

A joyful journey through numbers, language, and food―this bilingual board book turns counting into a cultural celebration toddlers and families will love.

One, Two, Three Dim Sum invites young readers to explore Mandarin numbers 1 to 10 through the vibrant world of Chinese cuisine. Each page pairs a traditional dim sum dish with a number―featuring text in English and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters. It's the perfect blend of early literacy, cultural discovery, and visual delight.

Designed for curious toddlers and preschoolers, this board book is a sensory-rich, developmentally engaging way to build number recognition and introduce a second language. Whether you're raising a bilingual child or simply want to reflect diverse cultures on your bookshelf, this book serves up meaning with every bite-sized lesson.

With its cheerful tone and cultural authenticity, One, Two, Three Dim Sum is more than just a counting book―it's a window into heritage, a celebration of food and family, and a tool for helping little learners connect with the world around them.

Why Parents, Educators & Librarians Are Reaching for This Book:

• Bright, detailed artwork making each page an invitation to taste, talk, and explore.
• Fosters number recognition, print awareness, vocabulary building, and cross-cultural understanding in a sturdy, toddler-friendly format.
• A meaningful gift for baby showers, birthday bundles, Lunar New Year celebrations, preschool classrooms, and diverse library collections. 
• "A delectable offering." ―School Library Journal Starred Review
