Story Of Cherry The Pig
291
PreSchool-Grade 2—Cherry the pig bakes desserts so delicious that a family of mice proclaims her apple cake to be "incredible." Buoyed by their compliment, she enters a village bake-off only to discover that they meant her cake was incredibly awful. Despairing, she is surprised when she wins the contest, until she learns that the mice like things that are salty and cheesy, not fruity and sweet. She opens a bakery and as a treat for the mice—who, mistakenly or not, have set her on a happy career path—bakes them their favorite biscuits. This sweet story, illustrated in shades of yellow and pink and presented on heavy stock, feels like a slice of 1950s Americana.
