Illustrated by
Christopher Denise.
Three bear cubs visit Grandma while she bakes holiday goodies. Rhythmical text relates their day: "Wooden spoon and measuring cup, / mix the batter; stir it up. / Fold it gently in the pan, / lick the spoon because we can." The Photoshop art glows with warm hues; double-page spreads alternate with single-page illustrations facing creamy pages with spot art. A chocolate cake recipe is appended.
