So excited to be giving Cranberry Valentine by Wende and Harry Devlin to my daughters for Valentine’s Day. I loved reading Cranberry Christmas and Cranberry Thanksgiving when I was a kid. There’s even a Cranberry Halloween! How is it that I didn’t know there were other books in the Cranberry series!!!
Looking for a cute love story?? Well, we found two !!! Porcupining A Prickly Love Story and Hokey Pokey Another Prickly Love Story by Lisa Wheeler are adorable tales of love and friendship. You are going to fall in love with Barb and Cushion! You might even be inspired to have a little dance party after reading them. We were!
So many things drew us to this book. I mean what’s not to LOVE… cake? apples? a love story? beautiful illustrations? a recipe? Just about everything we love is all wrapped up into this one precious book. And did I mention that the recipe for apple cake at the end of the book is absolutely delicious!! Miss 4 and I couldn’t even wait for it to cool before we shoveled steaming spoonfuls into our mouths. It’s the best apple cake we’ve ever had, hands down!!! Apple Cake A Recipe for Love by Julie Paschkis is a simple and whimsical story of a boy trying to get the attention of a book loving girl. The only way he can get her nose out of her book is by making her an apple cake. Paschkis uses her great grandmother’s apple cake recipe and turns it into a beautiful love story. It’s like a love story within a love story! Apple Cake reads just like a recipe, with Alfonso, our hero, finding ingredients in the loveliest of places- salt from the sea, eggs from a nest, butter from the sun…. Check out some fun Apple Cake activities we came up with to go along with the book- a shopping list and recipe flash cards.
