Cook-A-Doodle-Doo! by Janet Stevens, Susan Stevens Crummel
5.0
Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Fairytale: Fractured Little Red Hen
Stevens presents one finely put together picture book detailing the process of baking strawberry shortcake with three overly-anxious (but sincere) friends. Rooster is sick of chicken feed (and his expression of exhaustion and disgust is perfect). But, wait a minute! Rooster remembers a story about his great-grandmother, the Little Red Hen and soon finds her cookbook titled "The Joy of Cooking Alone." Upon asking his friends, Dog, Cat, and Goose say "Not I" but Pig, Turtle, and Iguana are totally game.
Every step is covered in this baking book, making it a bit long with a rather irritating repetition of Iguana messing something up, but I doubt the kids will mind. I am particularly fond of the sidebar nonfiction facts about ingredients, materials, and more in-depth instructions. This is a winning picture book on baking!
