This sounds like a cute book that I can read with my pre-k students. Thanks for the review!

Sandy – no new babies around here either! But I do still love to read book aloud to the younger kids (5 & 7 now), and the 11 yr old will eavesdrop!

rhapsody – ice cream! Of course, how could I forget that secret ingredient!

Beth – I wonder what variety of apples Ned uses?!

Margot – this is a cute story. A lot can be done with it (colors, recognizing types of fruit, the theme of what makes a home, etc.)

Ryan – the book and the recipe are foolproof! Glad you and your son are enjoying the cookbook!

Toni – how funny that someone is going thru a worm stage! My sister (decades ago) asked my grandmother to sew some clothes for an earthworm she wanted to keep as a pet!

zibilee – it is cute, and as I said to Margot, lots of room for extended language themes.

Though my kids are too old for these types of books, I have a friend who has two sons that would probably enjoy this book. They are struggling with reading right now, so I think this book with it’s vibrant colors and cute story would be just perfect for them. Thanks for this review, I am going to grab a copy when I can.

Well..you know I am a Nana now and I know that Nana’s recipes are the best.

The book sounds great. I am going to put this one on the list for my Grandson for Christmas. Thank you for the tip… I mean seriously we love worms these days.

What a charming book and even better receipe. It makes we wish I was a better baker.

I forgot to tell you that my son loves the Twinkie cookbook. We have had a few fun times in the kitchen and it’s all thanks to you

You gave us two goodies today in one post. Another great new (to me) kids book and a great looking recipe. We went to the apple orchard today so I am just ripe (sorry) for your grandmother’s slop.

Cute book. I have a similar (yet different) apple cake recipe from my grandmother. It’s apple season here too and I get a different variety every week at the farmers market. Yummmmmm.

This sounds great! (except for the raisins, which I would have to omit). Oh and of course you left out the line: serve warm with vanilla ice cream! Thanks for the review and recipe.

That book is absolutely adorable! Never mind that if I brought it home, my two would look at me like I had three heads. Hey! I still like to read Goodnight Moon. I think this is either a sign that the tween age is getting to me or I need another baby. (Not!) Thanks for the recipe too…it is making my mouth water and it is not even 7am!
