Apple Cake: A Recipe for Love

32 pp. | Harcourt | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-80745-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 "Beautiful, kind, brilliant Ida... always kept her nose in a book," and despite his attempts, poor Alfonso cannot get her attention. Finally, he gathers ingredients for an apple cake (including three wishes), and the finished product prompts Ida to stop reading, smile, and eat it up. The simple story line is unfortunately lackluster; the soft, whimsical ink and gouache illustrations take the cake.
