Mia ★★★★★

The animated illustrations really bring Phil’s baking adventures to life, and my three-year-old loves pointing out the mixing bowls on every page. It’s become our go-to wind-down story, and I don’t even mind the repeat readings.

Timothy ★★★★★

The animated illustrations really bring Phil’s baking adventure to life—my nephew sat completely still through the whole story, which never happens. It’s such a sweet way to show that baking together is about the people, not just the cake.

Zoe ★★★★★

My kids ask for this one every single night now—the story of Phil baking with his parents is so warm and playful, and the animated illustrations really bring the kitchen to life. It’s the rare book that makes them want to bake with me right after we finish reading.
