In bouncy rhyming text, an excited and hungry child tells about helping her mother make bee-bim bop: shopping, preparing ingredients, setting the table, and finally sitting down with her family to enjoy a favorite meal. The energy and enthusiasm of the young narrator are conveyed in the whimsical illustrations, which bring details from the artist’s childhood in Korea to his depiction of a modern Korean American family. Review: Excellent baby gift! - Adorable story, plus a recipe! Perfect choice for a new baby gift. Review: We are fam-i-ly! - Remember when you were a kid and your mama made your favorite meal? You would smell it cooking and just could not wait? Well, hang on, it's time for Bee-bim bop! The little girl is part of the meal preparation from beginning to end. That is why she can sing a multitude of variations of "Hurry, hurry." Instead of waiting on the sidelines or in the den, Linda Sue Park pulls the reader along with the child and mother in this adventure in shopping, preparing, cooking, and eating Bee-bim bop, a favorite Korean dish. Ho Baek Lee, the illustrator, creates large strides in the grocery store, crazy whirlwind angles, close-ups of the girl and her dog, a colorful focus on the areas near the girl and grayed, incomplete portrayals of distant areas in the kitchen. All in all, Park features the little girl in this hurried, practiced look at Bee-bim bop preparation. In fact, mother's head sits invisibly above the picture line in most of the illustrations, which show her cooking. Why? The book is a first-person narration of the girl's excitement and an almost dizzying anticipation of a favorite dish. "Hurry, hurry, hurry," she says in many variations. It is a wonderful thing that Park gives the girl such an understanding and calm mother. In fact, this book is as much about family as it is about cooking a specific dish. The mother seems to encourage the girl's participation instead of grumpily ordering her from underfoot. As the dog mirrors the girl's every movement, she, too, is allowed her place in the story. When the food is ready, the rest of the family immediately and respectfully appear instead of of being cajoled to the dining area. And lastly, the family immediately says grace instead of being reminded. The family has an easy, settled routine. Everyone cooperates in serving, there is smiling all around. Grandmother wears a traditional Korean garment, and the prayer indicates a cohesion and unity of family through love. It is the family portrayal that makes this story so significant. Yes, the reader is presented with the fun and excitement of a favorite meal, but the display of connected family members is the crux of the story, intentionally or inadvertently. Park and Lee depict the happy family. Two more things particularly merit attention. A detailed recipe follows the story, making it an exciting possibility for cooks and little helpers to try at home. As one more piece of the puzzle of family togetherness, Park also includes a picture of herself and a niece and nephew helping her prepare Bee-bim bop. This book is such a winner in many ways. Highly recommended! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #38,354 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #19 in Children's Asian & Asian American Books #22 in Children's Asia Books #1,633 in Children's Family Life Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 1,125 Reviews | ## Images ![Bee-bim Bop!: A Lively Family Story About Cooking Together for Children (Ages 4–8) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zwcnxZleL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent baby gift! *by S***E on March 11, 2026* Adorable story, plus a recipe!

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cutest book that kids love! *by S***E on September 11, 2021* This is the cutest book...my kids (2 and 4) love the fun rhymes combined with a simple story. I love that it teaches them about another culture. They love saying the "bee bim bop" refrain at the end of the pages, which of course, is great verbal practice. So much to like about this book.
