This book is simply amazing.  I fell in love with it after the very first read.  Julia Dweck is amazing at her rhymes and her storytelling.  Also, Gemini does a fantastic job with the illustrations.  Any child would love this book.Caarina is know as an amazing cook but when every one of her recipes goes wrong, she knows something is amiss.  Then she notices a little gremlin in her kitchen and decides on the perfect recipe to stop the little creature's mean tricks.If I was Caarina, I'd be tempted to give up and become discouraged at making so many mistakes.  Yet, she has confidence in her skill as a cook and was not surprised to find a little gremlin making trouble in her kitchen.  Her way to resolve the problem was to use her cooking skills to make a surprise for the gremlin.  It's a reminder to me that with some confidence and a bit of wit, I too can overcome any challenge.  That is a great lesson to teach to children!I'd say this is a must read and must own!!
