Synopses & Reviews
The children are busily, gleefully preparing a grand feast: puddle-water soup, mud pie, and a dandelion-and-dirt dessert. Yum! The young chefs are creating these tasty dishes for their special guests, who chirp, wiggle, and hop. Suzanne Bloom, author of the best-selling Goose and Bear books, including the award-winning A Splendid Friend, Indeed, has created a delightful celebration of the joys of imagination and the fun of getting dirty. The cheerful, repetitive text makes this a perfect book for reading aloud.
Review
"The children's unique physical styles (from a wide-brimmed straw hat to a smattering of messy pigtails) shine. Give two green thumbs up for the joy of mud pies everywhere." --Kirkus Reviews
Review
"This celebration of imaginative, outdoor fun is a tasty treat." --School Library Journal
