Product Description
Review
"Ashley's point, that all children are good at something, is well made and should be reassuring to young listeners. Brazell's colorful mixed-media illustrations reflect an urban environment with a fully international cast of characters. A good choice for children just starting school--appropriate for classroom story hours or for parent/child sharing."--"Booklist."
Product Description
Ling Sung doesn’t like school. The other children can do things that he can’t. But Ling Sung soon finds out that there is something very special that only he can do…
Terry can tie up his shoes – Ling Sung can’t. Manjit can write her name but Ling Sung’s letters go all wrong and Sharon can button up her coat perfectly. Ling Sung doesn’t want to go back to school every again. But the next day at biscuit time Ling Sung does something amazing…
He uses two paintbrushes as chopsticks to pick up the biscuits. This is something that no-one else can do, not even the teachers, and Ling Sung feels very special indeed!

Format:Paperback
This book is fantastic. It is the story of how when a child first starts school or nursery they may find that there are things which they are unable to do or that other children may be better at things than they are. However it is also a great multicultural book with Chinese Ling Sung and a whole host of children and adults in his class from different races.

This book was great for an introduction into teaching children about the Chinese culture. Also fantastic for an a follow up for a circle time activity as it depicts all children with individual talents and abilities. A real useful resource for classroom or home use.

Great book with lovely illustrations. My class of three year olds enjoyed the story. Led to a session where the children discussed what they found difficult at school and what they felt they were good at. Lots of curriculum areas covered. Thoroughly recommend this book.
