Who doesn't love noodles? There are oodles of noodles as doodles, noodles in soup, noodles that are dry (or in a stir-fry), even noodles that become hair in a dream about...noodles! From mee hoon kueh to mee sua, author Low Lai Chow’s light, rhythmic prose introduces kids to the myriad of noodles Singapore has to and also pays homage to many local noodle dishes. The quirky illustrations by up-and-coming artist Lee Jia Zhen will surely expand children's imaginations.
