Reviews

This pleasant book makes baking look like so much fun that kiddos are likely to be inspired to try to help out in the kitchen. * Booklist * Benoit offers a wide variety of perspectives so readers can see the way the batter looks in a big bowl, while on another page, the younger boy's eyes barely peek over the top of the baking tin. Recipes for chocolate cupcakes and vanilla frosting appear on the endpapers. VERDICT This brief story will go over well in a storytime with a cooking theme. A sweet treat that's sure to please. * School Library Journal * Although [Mommy] is in the kitchen, the focus is on the children's activities, and the use of low-tech tools -- they cream the butter by hand, hence the 'hard work' -- ensures that they can be active participants rather than bystanders....Benoit's art features distinct outlines, rounded figures, and soft colors -- the mutual affection is apparent on every page. A recipe for success. * Kirkus Reviews * The illustrations are cute and everyone looks like they are having fun....a nice idea for kids who like to help in the kitchen....[T]here has been much discussion of late of more children's books where the children can see themselves in the books they read, requiring more diverse characters in kids' books, especially where the characters are just themselves without commentary on race or ethnicity and I was pleased to see this book as a great example of filling that need. * Canadian Bookworm * The text is presented as short, catchy sentences and phrases and is complemented by colourful illustrations....Recommended. * CM Magazine *
