How My Parents Learned to Eat by Ina R. Friedman
4.0
Reading Rainbow has never been wrong about a book, ever. That just has to be said.
How My Parents Learned to Eat tells the tale of an American sailor and a Japanese schoolgirl (can it get any quainter?) who each learn the table manners of the other person's culture. This is done in secret from each other, and ends up giving them both an appreciation for their differences, as well what they can teach one another. It's a charming, funny story that would serve as a good read aloud. It would also be perfect if you were doing a family tree project in the classroom.
