Revue de presse :
Hsyu’s retelling has a folkloric simplicity, planting just enough details to ground readers in the traditional tale. Pak’s mixed-media illustrations evoke a misty, long-ago agrarian China, his expressive, angular faces contrasting pleasingly with fluid, lovingly created backdrops. [...] A breath of fresh air in its beauty and simplicity.
—Kirkus Reviews
Hsyu debuts with a fine retelling of a Chinese folktale about a hardworking bachelor whose kindness is rewarded. [...] Working in a pale, muted palette, Pak (Have You Heard the Nesting Bird?) contributes airy, rough-textured compositions that evoke both contemporary animation and ancient, weathered frescoes as the story takes a serpentine path to a happy ending.
—Publisher’s Weekly
Hsyu and Pak have revived a Chinese folktale, keeping the flavor of ancient China while making the story appealing to a modern audience. [...] A solid choice for multicultural folktale collections.
—School Library Journal
Kenard Pak’s art is undoubtedly what makes Dinner a standout. His elongated characters with expressions he can conjure with just a few lines, the earthy palette of browns, blues, and greens he uses as if to ground the ethereal magic into something of this world, the use of various textures to create infinite backgrounds of mountains and sky, are just a few of his attentive, exquisite details.
—Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center
Everything about The Dinner That Cooked Itself is delicious! The story, the spellbinding illustrations, and its sweetly surprising ending are elegant and magical.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : NEUF. Pak, Kenard (illustrateur). Il y a très longtemps, dans la Chine ancienne, vivait un homme honnête et travailleur qui s'appelait Tuan. Tuan se sentait seul et en dépit des efforts de la marieuse, il ne parvenait pas à trouver une jeune fille dont le signe astrologique ou le milieu social lui correspondait. Il continuait donc à travailler dur dans son champ de légumes jusqu'au soir où il découvrit le plus grand escargot qu'il n'ait jamais vu. Prenant le pauvre animal en pitié, il le ramena chez lui. La nuit suivante, en rentrant de sa longue journée de travail, il fut très surpris de voir le dîner le plus fastueux jamais vu prêt sur la table - mais aucune trace du ou de la cuisinière ! Et chaque soir, son dîner était prêt, chaque fois plus faste et plus succulent que la nuit précédente. Déterminé à découvrir qui se cachait derrière ces mets, Tuan mit au point un plan.The Dinner That Cooked Itself est l'adaptation d'un ancien conte chinois pour les enfants d'aujourd'hui. Kenard Pak et J C Hsyu donnent un nouveau souffle à ce superbe conte qui combine parfaitement magie et réalisme, et illustre que si l'on travaille dur, la chance suivra. Les doubles pages dédiées aux paysages rappellent les plus grands dessins animés. Une introduction facile et amusante à l'astrologie et à la culture chinoise ! - Nombre de page(s) : 32 - Poids : 310g - Genre : Jeunesse en langue anglaise. N° de réf. du vendeur N9781909263413
