<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam are two hapless robber dogs who decide the perfect way to rob their neighbors would be to invite them over for a lovely tea party. The only problem is they've never baked a cupcake or pastry in their lives. Could this be the change of pace they've been looking for? Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Does crime really pay? Not for these two burglars. After one bungle too many they decide on a career change that any mother would be proud of!</i></b> <p/>Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam are two hapless robber dogs who decide the perfect way to rob their neighbors would be to invite them over for a lovely tea party. The only problem is they've never baked a cupcake or pastry in their lives. Could this be the change of pace they've been looking for? A funny, quirky story, deliciously dished up!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Corderoy's unobtrusive, let-me-tell-you-a-story rhymes allow Lenton, a British animator making his debut, to take center stage with cheerily frenetic images that look like freeze frames from a cartoon...<br>--Publishers Weekly <p/>The story, written in rhyme and accompanied by Lenton's mixed-media illustrations, is lively and expressive. The baked treats look good enough to eat and will surely appeal to storyhour audiences. Each page contains a tiny spider that children will love to try to spot.<br>--School Library Journal <p/>Charming... This fresh take on the "trickster-tricked" idea -- with a rhyming text that meshes well with Lenton's mixed-media illustrations -- should get plenty of use from your library's own sticky-finger gang.<br>--Booklist Online<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tracey Corderoy </b>is a teacher, but with a head happily crammed with countless ideas and stories for children, she began writing in 2006. She lives in Gloucestershire, England, with her family and a whole host of cute-but-naughty pets. <p/><b>Steven Lenton </b>spent many a school vacation working in the family pom-pom factory. Since this somewhat fluffy start to his career he has gained a BA and MA in animation and has become a successful animator and art director in children's television. He lives in England.
