Cherry the Pig

Utako Yamada

As you know, I am quite an expert on desserts. My favorite is blueberry pie, but I will also settle for chocolate cake, snickerdoodles, watermelon taffy, and peanut butter milkshakes. I knew I would love this book because Cherry the Pig is also a whiz at desserts. Her favorite thing to do every day is bake a sweet treat just for herself. Cherry makes a delectable, fluffy apple cake one afternoon, but to her great disappointment, a mice family sneaks into her kitchen and gobbles most of it up! Never mind those pesky mice--Cherry knows her apple cake is maybe the best apple cake ever, so she enters it into the baking contest at the Harvest Festival. Will Cherry win the contest? Or will those naughty mice stand in her way? Read this book to find out!
