妈妈买绿豆！Mum, Buy Green Beans!

This is a short story of a little boy spending time with his mother to make a simple traditional dessert, 绿豆汤 and how they want about to wet markets to get the beans and go through preparation to get the yummy dessert. Cosy and warm feels reading the books with the young ones, simple times but so much meaning in it.

This is one of my boy’s favorite books! And we have read it countless of times! We really love the detailed illustrations in this book! It is also pretty relatable of how the little boy plays near his mummy as she cooks and waits for the green bean to become bigger! We also made green bean soup and turn them to popsicles too!

There are lots of pictures which can be used to tell a story on my own to the little one without following the actual words in the book. It allows for conversations to take place on each page!

We love this book with very little words but very detailed illustrations! I really like the simple story of how a boy and his mother bought 绿豆, cook and eat together, and then some! Definitely makes me feel like having green bean soup every time I read it 😂

Bought it because of the great reviews. My 1yo daughter is captivated by the realistic pictures of the boy and his mother, and their kitchen. She keeps pointing to details such as the gas stove and asking for their names. Great for language learning!
