Teacher Notes (downloadable PDF) prepared by Christina Wheeler, a practising teacher librarian with a background in the Australian curriculum (English).
SYNOPSIS
When Mia ventures through Chinatown for dim sum with Uncle Eddie, she not only encounters a bustling neighbourhood brimming with life, but also notices a new little friend has joined them. Together, they count their way to the Big Wok, greeting residents and absorbing vibrant Chinese culture along the way.
Ten Blocks to the Big Wok incorporates English and simplified Mandarin number words, together with ordinal and cardinal counting. Younger readers will love exploring the streetscape on each page, interacting with Mia's adventure as she counts her way to the Big Wok.
The Teacher Notes further explain aspects of Chinese culture encountered in the text, while the illustrations invite readers to observe, learn and wonder.
