Staff Review
This is a great story book that teaches the value of friendship with a South East Asian twist. All of Millie's friends are a type of animal from the region, such as, Dottie the jambu fruit dove, Hai the Malaysian Box turtle and Bashir the water buffalo. When she finds that she cannot manage to make a thousand curry puffs, a popular Malaysian fried snack, by herself, all of Millie's friends help her to achieve this feat to benefit the Society to Feed the Hungry.
An excellent simple story that also includes information on the animals of South East Asia.
