Look, Lenore. Uncle Peter's Amazing Chinese Wedding. Illus. Yumi Heo. New York: Atheneum, 2006. $16.95. ISBN 0-689-84458-1.

  Someone's not too happy that her favorite uncle's getting married. After all, Jenny's been his special girl. Even sitting a bit on her mother's lap during the wedding doesn't really cheer her up. In the end, it's the new bride, Aunt Stella, whose thoughtful gesture toward the little girl makes her the star of the wedding. The story, with delightful detail about a Chinese marriage ceremony, is accompanied by enjoyable, vivid, and good-natured art.
