A search-and-find book in Hmong and English: crowded pages, and a list of things to hunt for on each. There is no story, and that is the point of including it — a look-and-find gives a child a reason to say a word out loud and a parent a reason to ask for it in Hmong, which is a different kind of practice from being read to. It belongs to the same small self-published series as My First Day of School and A Visit to the Zoo, so expect modest production and the same characters throughout. For a shelf where nearly every Hmong children's book is either a folktale or a refugee story, plain everyday vocabulary is a real gap. For ages 3 to 7, and for families doing Hmong at the kitchen table.
