Overview

Cute rhyming story! My kids, ages 5 and 8, loved the story of Mia and Bella and their silly rhymes. My 8 year old read the book to my 5 year old and she loved to guess the rhyming word as he read. Lovely, sweet and fun. Thanks to the author for writing this delightful rhyming gem and providing a recipe which can be handed down from generation to generation. Get ready to smile! I love the rhyming and simple joy that Silly Willy Apple Cake brings. It is so fun to read over and over again. And of course, I'm going to try the recipe at the end very soon! A sweet story with a recipe I look forward to trying! My 8-year-old enjoyed the story, the rhymes, and the sweet illustrations. And I appreciate the recipe at the end! Now, my kids want apple cake. Fortunately for me, my eldest daughter loves to bake! Really cute The artwork is really charming and the rhyming story is really cute including the idea of a fun rhyming game that families will enjoy imitating. It's not only a wonderful read for young children but a great follow up activity. Sweet and Adorable This book is a cute rhyming story sure to entertain little readers. We loved the bright illustrations and the recipe at the end. A fun, light smile-maker. Fun with word play! My son enjoyed this fun story which is perfect for fall! The rhyme and word play is great for developing pre-reading skills in young children and the recipe at the end makes a nice extension into real life. My Son Loved It! The book serves as a bedtime story, activity book, and cookbook. There are many things to like about the story: the learning opportunities on every page, which include counting, color identification, vocabulary, and rhyming. Also worth mentioning is the charming art.
