Pie-Rits by Julia Dweck is a delight. I know it's a kid's book but it had me laughing out loud from start to finish.(I guess there's still a kid in me somewhere)Once you discover how Cherry Cupcake has fallen big time for French bread Pierre the action never stops.Who knew pastries led such colorful lives? For sure they are not half-baked. Neither does Dweck hesitate tosqueeze out every sweet drop of humor from the rich dough of her situations. It's classic.Illustrator Fian Arroyo adds all the delicious colors of the rainbow to help bring this tale to life.Cupcakes and croissants nearly jump off the page, their personalities as lively as the language.So join Cherry as she sets out on her first exciting adventure. I think you will discover just how tastya Pie-Rit can be. Don't forget the butter.
