A Cooked-Up Fairy Tale

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ben Mantle. William dreams of being a famous chef in his fairy-tale realm. After several failed attempts, he finds a box of raw materials and, misunderstanding their purpose, cooks up story elements to humorous effect (e.g., Cinderella's pumpkin becomes "Pumpkin Pie with Cream and Candied Pecans"). It's a delicious twist on well-known tales, stuffed with cooking vocabulary and dynamic illustrations and topped off with happily-ever-afters for everyone.
