I really like the catchy text. How many bouncy ways can we rhyme with bee bim bop? (A zillion, apparently.)
And I liked the recipe, and the family togetherness, and the artwork. (Note: I asked around when I cooked this, as I was short a few things, and was informed that this is one of those "meh" recipes where you don't have to be exact and can add or take away as you wish. I love those!)

Lee's drawings in the book go along very well with the story, and they are very entertaining. I read this book to my 4 year old and he keep laughing at the little girl who keep trying to help her mommy make supper. I think that the text was also enjoyable for him because it used a lot of repition and it was easy for him to read along to the words since he knew what was coming. I would use this book in a pre-k or a kindergarden class to help the students learn to read. Also you build a learni...more
A rhyming book about a little girl's favorite Korean dish - bee-bim-bop. There's a catchy rhyme and the little girl is certainly enthusiastic about helping her mom cook her favorite meal. The story tells how to make the dish and includes a recipe at the end. Even the recipe deserves a comment. It shows what a child can do (pour the rice into a rice cooker, mix the marinade ingredients), and what a grownup should do (mostly things with knives and the hot stove). Very enjoyable. And by the w...more

This was featured on Between the Lions. This was a cute story of a little girl excited over her mother making her favorite dish, bee-bim. The daughter really enjoys helping her mother and watching her mother cook. There is nice rhyming and repetition to get young children interested and reading along. The content of the story gives a little bit of insight into Chinese culture through describing the food, which most kids will understand because the ingredients are things they will be familiar...more
This is a cute book about a young girl making the Korean dish Bibimbap with her family. It's told in a rather sing-song voice (i.e. "Hurry Mama Hurry gotta chop chop chop! Hungry-very hungry-for some bee bim bop!") I was a little startled by it at first because I didn't expect it, but then realized that it's actually intended to be read aloud to a young child. This is a great way to introduce Korean culture to a child.
A cute book for little kids interested in helping their parents cook. I had to eat bim-bim bop (that's what I've always heard it called) at the same time. I liked that it goes through the entire cooking process and reminded me of how much fun it was to learn to cook with my parents as a little kid. I really don't like rhyming, so I didn't enjoy reading the book as much as I had hoped, but I know kids would enjoy the rhythm of the story when they read out loud. The illustrations are done in a car...more
One of favorite books to read to my students who are Korean ELLS or any Korean- American students. There is not a lot of books that relates to korean culture and this book does it all. Bee-bim Bop is one the traditional food that a lot of Koreans have had it before. The book contains a lot of rhyming words and it contains catchy phrases. Fun book to read and it introduces another culture to the students.
This is a fun rhyming story focusing on Korean dish Bee-bim bop. A little girl accompanies her mother to the store for the ingredients, helps her cook the meal, and then finally gets to enjoy her favorite dish with her family. The book includes an explanation of what bee-bim bop is, as well as a recipe.
Culturally relevant for the classroom, this book explores the cooking lifestyle of a little one's culture. It is different from American cooking styles which is why it is a good book to read to students to offer a new perspective of seeing how things are done in the kitchen with different types of family.
Young girl makes dinner with her mother from grocery shopping to eating. A good recipe of vegetables and meat over rice is included. I like that the mother and daughter can experience the book from cover to cover in real life as well as read it together.
Great book for story time because it has a lot of rhyme and repetition of words. A little girls helps her mother cook a traditional Korean dish; Bee-bim bop but she wants her mom to hurry to finish it. The recipe is on one of the back pages
Bee Bim Bop is about a little girl who helps her mother shop and cook dinner. Bee Bim Bop is fun to say and also a real thing. It's a korean dish that contains veggies, eggs and rice. Rhyming text makes Bee Bim Bop fun to read.
If you would like to expose your child to other cultures, this would be a excellent book. Complete with a recipe in the back of the book for parents, this rhyming book is perfect for your child.

A fun rhyming text tells the story of a little girl who shops and cooks with her mother a traditional Korean dish: Bee-bim bop (mix & match veggies, eggs, meat & rice).
This was so cute! It had a great cadence to it. It made you want to clap your hands and stomp your feet to the rythym. A bit like Sandra Boynton's Barnyard Dance.
Cute rhymes.. my three year old liked this book. we took it to daycare and his friends and the other parents liked it too. has recipes in the back
A very catchy rhyming book, great for reading out-loud. This has become a classic in our family. We even tried the recipe in the back! It was pretty good :)
Oh, how I can't stand rhyming text. But this was fun, all the same. The illustrations had good movement to them. An enjoyable read.
This book also would be good to use when working on a rhyming unit. Kids can pick out in the books which words rhyme with what.
A hungry little girl prods her Mom along to cook some Bee-Bim-Bop for her because she is "hungry, hungry, hungry"! Nice rhythmic story.
Fun book with a Korean recipe. Could use for writing example or use the recipe to talk about different kinds of foods, or process, lists ect. Also, can use to introduce simple measurement skills.Further, the book uses lots of rhyming words so it would be great for Pre-K students learning phonemic awareness.
Cute book, the kids love helping by adding their Bee-bim Bop! Fun story to read to kindergarteners.
So cute! There's a recipe in the back for bi-bim bop, too.... It doesn't look TOO hard to make!!
My kids love making and eating Bi Bim Bop. Book and dish are both family favorites.
Warning: I read this as I was walking home from the library just before noon - and then I had to walk back downtown to have some bee-bim bop for lunch! Of course, with the included recipe, I could have made it at home, but I didn't have all the ingredients on hand!
