(3) K-3 Illustrated by Betsy Lewin. An elephant pastry chef bakes her birthday away. She wakes in the night to a smell as "sweet as crème brûlée" only to find that her mice friends have baked her a "jumbled-up surprise!" (recipe included). Pastel-hued daytime illustrations along with the blue-purple nighttime scenes complement the thoughtful story's smooth rhymes. Sprinklings of French words are unobtrusively defined on the pages.
