Three Scoops and a Fig

32 pp. | Peachtree | August, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56145-522-5 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Kathleen Hartung. Sofia wants to help with the cooking at her family's Italian restaurant. However, she's repeatedly reminded that she's too little: "Sei troppo piccola!" Disheartened, Sofia finds inspiration for a dessert from her favorite fig tree. The text is choppy, but soft watercolor depictions of ripe figs will whet readers' appetite for the appended sundae recipe. Glos.
