This made me want to have a Chinese wedding. Jumping on the bed, butterflies, wedding soup. Good stuff. Most of the nouns in the story are illustrated in the borders and backgrounds of the pictures, so it would be fun to share with a beginning reader because they could use the visual clues to figure out words.

Summary:
A young girl (Jenny) is upset that her favorite Uncle is spending his Saturday getting married instead of spending time with her. Unlike American Culture the bride in this story wears a Red dress. Jenny pulls a sneaky trick on the bride. She ends up telling her mother why she is upset. The bride gives Jenny a gift and tells her that she loves her.

Personal Reaction:
This is very darling, it features the Chinese wedding traditions such as the gifts that were given, the location of the wedding, and the bride’s dress. It also displays a person vs person conflict with the main character. It also had some really nice imagery.

Classroom:
Paint coffee filters to look like butterflies just like in the story. Discuss the meaning or the butterfly in Chinese culture.
Have students write a short story about a relative that they love and have fun with.
Count birdseed, since throwing birdseed is a common tradition. Integrate it into a math lesson. ( )

Jenny's favorite uncle is getting married, and this story shows us her love for him as well as what the ceremony for a Chinese wedding looks like.

Uncle Peter's Amazing Chinese Wedding by Lenore Look is about a young girl named Jenny who is afraid that she won't be her Uncle Peter's favorite girl anymore once he gets married to his bride Stella, so she goes about trying to spoil the festivities. The feeling of jealousy that Jenny displays is certainly one that most children will relate to. The story is also funny and entertaining. I also think that we need more Multicultural children's books to be read aloud and this is a great example of a diverse book that children would love to have read to them. ( )

Peter, Jenny's favorite uncle, is getting married and everyone is happy, but Jenny. As friends and family get ready for the traditional Chinese wedding, Jenny can only shed a few tears and go along with the events that take place. Everything seems to be falling apart for Jenny because she is worried she will no longer get to hang out with her super cool uncle like she used to.
Jenny attempts to put a stop to the whole thing, hoping she would be able to hold onto her uncle. She tries to pull him away when he reaches out for his bride, Stella. Then Jenny hides the tea when Stella was supposed to serve the family during the traditional tea ceremony.
After the ceremony comes to an end, Peter and Stella say their goodbyes. Jenny, still sulking, is given a pleasant surprise. Stella gave her a small box and allowed her to release the butterflies. Then Stella told Jenny she loved her. At that moment, Jenny completely changed her mind about Stella and welcomed her into the family.
Change can be a scary thing for anyone. Children especially struggle with it, which is why this would be a great story for young readers. Jenny is unwilling to accept change at first, but gladly welcomes Stella into the family in the end. This goes to show that change can be a good thing. It's not as bad as we make it out to be. ( )
