Chinese Mirror Mirrors Life!

This delightful picture book appeals to people of all ages and is a great read-aloud to both children and adults. No one in this Korean family has ever seen a mirror, so no one has ever seen what he/she looks like! When the father brings home a mirror from a business trip and hides it in his trunk, not really knowing what it is, each member of the family sneaks a peek in the mirror, but they all see something entirely different for hilarious results. I cannot believe this book has not won major awards...it is an enchanting and laugh out loud tale!
