Wong: Apple Pie 4th Of July

Wong, Janet S. Apple Pie 4th of July. Illus. Margaret Chodos-Irvine. Orlando FL: Voyager Books/Harcourt, Inc., 2002

I really really enjoyed this book. I feel it really tells you a story of how a lot of children may feel who's parents aren't from the United States. This little girl is frustrated that she has to work in her parent's store and not get to go to the parade. She is convinced that no one wants Chinese food on the 4th of July. It is neat how the story takes us through her mind. In the end of the story I feel it all works out for her because she gets to see the neatest part of the 4th of July which is the fireworks show. The illustrations were really detailed in this book. They were very colorful and detailed to the story.
