Review: Look out Amelia Bedelia! Big Brown Rooster and friends are cooking strawberry shortcake and the misunderstandings abound! Literal interpretations and great illustrations make this an extremely entertaining picture book. Read the book, create the shortcake, and eat it! The recipe included in the text is fantastic.

Summary: Little Red Hen's Great Grandson enters the kitchen
Review: This is a fantastic book!Such thought has gone into the illustrations even the paper it was drawn on was made by hand.

It is a modern update of the Little Red Hen theme, "won't anybody help me make bread", but this time, although Dog, Cat and Goose wont, Rooster gets Turtle, Iguana and Potbellied Pig.

Rooster is making a strawberry shortcake (out of great gran's recipe book "the joys of cooking alone") and the animals are a delight in the kitchen.
It is uproariously funny as Roosters assistants get everything wrong and Pig keeps wanting to eat it.
The book includes a recipe at the end for the cake they bake and on the side of the pages it has information and tips on cooking! Hints on baking powder, measuring equipment, where butter comes from and so on and so forth. Everything you need to bake a great cake, and what's more, explain to the kids just why you're helping them do what they're doing.

The illustrations are a luscious visual delight and the cake is worth salivitating over - this book is so clever that you'll be giggling with the kids as you read it. Ages 2 up.
