Caarina the Cooking Fairy by Julia Dweck is the tantalizing adventure of a magically talented cooking fairy named Caarina, who must overcome the humorous antics of one mischievously sour gremlin in order to prepare a mouth-watering feast."Caarina lives among the cooks that write the recipes in books." One day the Fairy Queen announces that a special feast is to take place and will be prepared by the decadent fairy, Caarina.Caarina is simmering with excitement and eagerly seeks out the most flavorsome dishes for the Fairy Queen, but each one of her creations turns out to be a culinary disaster.Caarina just doesn't understand what could be going wrong with all of her delectable delights. But lurking in the shadows a nasty little gremlin is sabotaging all of her recipes. Will Caarina discover what he's up to before it's too late?Caarina the Cooking Fairy is one of my favorite concoctions cooked up by author Julia Dweck. Her rhyming play on words makes the story enticing to readers young and old.The brilliant illustrations by Gemini divinely capture the alluring Caarina as well as the comical mischief of the sneaky gremlin.I highly recommend picking up a copy of Caarina the Cooking Fairy. You will not be disappointed.
