This book has a lot of puns as seen by the title. It’s an interesting story but without much of a point.

It is Yoko’s first day at school, so of course her mother wants to sendher off with healthy comfort food for lunch–a delectable package of homemade sushi. “Have a wonderful day at school, my Little Cherry Blossom,”her mother says as Yoko climbs into the bus.

Rating: *****
My son loved this book and now can’t wait to try sushi. It’s a great book to talk about differences and trying new things.
