Overview: This story is about a young girl named Zee who loves to seek adventure with the help of her "friends." She is a sweet girl who loves to help out her mother, however, she sometimes misunderstands the things that she asks. For example, in this particular story, Zee hears her mother say that she needs to borrow china for a party she is hosting which she immediately assumes the country, China, as opposed to the cutlery. Zee uses her imagination to transport herself to China and upon realizing the entire country would be too large to bring back home, she decided to bring back some of the Chinese citizens, and quickly learns when she returns home that her mother did not mean the country, but the cutlery.
Activity: This would be a great book to introduce a lesson about China because it involves different cultural elements about the country.
