Baking Day at Grandma's

By Anika Aldamuy Denise and Christopher Denise

Book Overview

A Christmas-cookie sweet story perfect for families to share!

Three bouncing little bear siblings, wrapped tight in their winter clothes, can't wait to tromp through the snow for Baking Day at Grandma's! In a rhyming text that begs to be sung, the bears and their grandma pour and mix and stir--with breaks for hot cocoa and dancing--to create the perfect wintry treat. Then they wrap it up as gifts in ribbons to show that sweets are even better when they're shared. With a recipe in the back, this is a perfect family feel-good story for the fall, winter, and any holiday spent with grandparents.

Customer Reviews

Good and cheerful story

Both kids agree, _Baking Day_ is one of their favorites. A bit bouncier than one would expect for a bedtime story, but it's theirs every night. (Besides, at 8 & 6, they self-regulate better than little kids) The 8yo tells me he loves it because there's brownies in the story, there's even a real recipe after the story itself is done. (Actually, I think it's chocolate cake rather than brownies, but it's all good.) The 6yo generally enjoys stories that are written in rhyme, as _Baking Day_ is. She also likes the chocolate treats. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library's sends this out, which is how we got ours, though after being read every night for 2 years, we may need a new copy soon enough.
