'Looks good enough to eat' The Times

'A sumptuous homage to Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen' The New York Times

A little girl's love of dim sum spills over into her dreams, taking her on a fantastical food-filled adventure.

Liddy is too excited to sleep! Tomorrow she's going to the Dim Sum palace with her family, so when a tempting smell wafts into her bedroom, she has no choice but to follow it...

Inspired by childhood memories of epic dim sum feasts, X. Fang's glorious picture book is a delicious adventure with a loving helping of food, family and culture.

'A fantastical celebration of eating... A gallery of exquisitely drawn dim sum adorns the endpapers' - Observer

'A deliciously off-kilter picture book that looks almost good enough to eat' - The Times

'A child takes a fantastical journey to the Dim Sum Palace... Both the theme and look are reminiscent of Maurice Sendaks In the Night Kitchen... A real (delicious) trip' - Kirkus

'A sumptuous homage to Maurice Sendaks In the Night Kitchen' - The New York Times

'Fangs delightful story about a nighttime kitchen adventure has shades of Maurice Sendak . . . but Liddy is a force unto herself. Full of finelined crosshatching and a saturated color palette, Fangs artwork is deliciously off-kilter, with flattened and blocky figure designs and a fanciful sense of scale underscoring the charming imagination of Liddys dream. Food-loving kids eagerly anticipating a special treat will easily recognize Liddys wide-eyed excitement - and probably end up asking for a snack' - Starred Review, Booklist
