Editorial Reviews:

  • A wonderful paperback picture book about the joys of family and food, from Newbery Award winning author Linda Sue Park.

    Bee-bim bop ("mix-mix rice") is a traditional Korean dish. In bouncy rhyming text, a hungry child tells of helping her mother make bee-bim bop: shopping, preparing ingredients, setting the table, and sitting down to enjoy a favorite meal. The enthusiasm of the narrartor is conveyed in the whimsical illustrations, which bring details from the artist’s childhood in Korea to his depiction of a modern Korean-American family. The book includes Linda Sue’s own bee-bim bop recipe!

  • Summary: Wonderful, Rythmic Chidren's Book
  • Comment: I've been a fan of Linda Sue Park since her very first book. She has not missed with Bee-bim Bop! It's a cute story with the recipe in the back to show readers how they can make Bee-bim bop at home. If you have a love for Korean food and/or have young children, I highly recommend this book.

  • Summary: My kids love this book!
  • Comment: I'm the mom to several kids adopted from Korea. We LOVE this book. It's fun to read, fantastic for the kids to interact with (my kids like to shout the "Bee-Bim Bop!" part when we get there!), and a great way to integrate a bit of Korean culture. I've read it to my kids' classes several times at school for Lunar New Year, and everyone always enjoys it. Just an overall great book!

  • Summary: Cute ~ Fun for all ages
  • Comment: This is a very cute, sing-song book that we love to read at our house. While my 1 year-old won't sit still for the whole thing, my 3 year-old loves it and my 5 year-old thinks it's great... and it's a book that I love to read too! The illustrations are well done and interesting. There is even a recipe in the back of the book. yum!

  • Summary: .
  • Comment: I really like the catchy text. How many bouncy ways can we rhyme with bee bim bop? (A zillion, apparently.)

    And I liked the recipe, and the family togetherness, and the artwork. (Note: I asked around when I cooked this, as I was short a few things, and was informed that this is one of those "meh" recipes where you don't have to be exact and can add or take away as you wish. I love those!)

    As an atheist/agnostic I wasn't super-thrilled with the page dealing with them saying grace, however, this is what I call a "deal with it moment". Lots of people pray, it's important to a lot of people, it's important for kids to know this sort of thing, and in the context it's just not a big deal in this book. If this is the sort of thing that concerns you, you can skip over those two pages. Just, you know, tape 'em together :P

    Another reviewer made some comments about how, somehow, this book will prevent your kid from talking right or something. I have NO IDEA what she's talking about. Every line of this book fits the rules of Standard American English grammar. (Even if they didn't, it's good for children to hear different ways of talking. One book will not suddenly convince your child to speak a less prestigious dialect. Children learn language from the people around them.) And the rhymes are never awkward or forced in this book. Neither is the scansion weird.
