"The baker takes great care / to make one cream éclair." This pleasing book features a concise couplet--and a different treat, from four sticky buns to eight strudels--for each number up to twelve. Then: "At last his job's complete-- / now thirteen folks to greet!" The uncluttered design showcases Andreasen's retro-style oil paintings of a jolly, rosy-cheeked baker and his delicious-looking goodies.
