Baking With Daddy

Young readers can peek under the flaps scattered through this picture book and help Little Mouse collect what is needed for a batch of bread rolls alongside Daddy Mouse. Daddy Mouse plans a trip to the shop for baking supplies, but Little Mouse would rather perform magic tricks. Daddy Mouse agrees to turn the baking into a magic act, producing magic bread rolls instead.

At the shop, the pair choose flour, yeast and, naturally, cheese to go with the rolls. On the walk home, Little Mouse suggests adding tomatoes and lettuce to round out the meal. Back in the kitchen, they mix the dough, let it rise, and then bake it. A simple recipe at the back of the book lets children follow along and make the rolls themselves.
