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.--<cite>School Library Journal</cite></p> <p>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.--<cite>Kirkus Reviews</cite></p> <p>For both children and adults, Renné Benoit's adroit and totally appealing illustrations of childhood are another treat and she perfectly captures the fleeting nature of these small familiar moments of curious children... and cats!...[<i>Baby Cakes</i>] is great for a public library or a parent/grandparent who likes to bake.--<cite>Resource Links Magazine</cite></p> <p>Told in simple text by Theo Heras, charmingly illustrated on every page by Renne Benoit, and delivered in a sturdy, padded cover with stronger pages that are perfect for little hands, <i>Baby Cakes</i>...is especially recommended for children ages 1 to 3, making it appropriate for family, daycare center, preschool, and community library collections.--<cite>Midwest Book Review</cite></p> <p>Very expressive digitally created watercolor illustrations accompanied by very large bold typeface create a very endearing story.--<cite>Youth Services Book Review</cite></p> <p>[W]hen I'd recently read [my daughter] <i>Baby Cakes</i>, by Theo Heras and Renne Benoit, she declared, 'That's such a good book, Mommy.'...This book would make a great Christmas gift from 3-5-year-olds. With simple vocabulary, a brother and sister work together to make cupcakes (with the unhelpful assistance of their pet cat)....The recipe inside makes for a nice extension of the book, bringing the story to life and inspiring the reader to try something new. That the brother and sister in the story bake together without the help of grown-ups (except for with the oven) inspires independence. Plus, the cupcakes were delicious.--<cite>Pickle Me This</cite></p> <p>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.--<cite>Canadian Bookworm</cite></p> <p>The text is presented as short, catchy sentences and phrases and is complemented by colourful illustrations....Recommended.--<cite>CM Magazine</cite></p><br>
