Customer Reviews
A joy for parents & children alike
A fantastic book for all ages. I read bedtime stories to my 3 boys and to find a book that a. keeps them interested b.makes them laugh and c.is entertaining for the reader is very welcome in my home. We especially like the recipe for Boy Cake !!! Excellent & well illustrated.
great for reading aloud
This is a fantastically thought out story. The boy invents ever more ridiculous recipes and poor Mr Wolf runs all around to find the ingredients. Children love to say the words along with the adult and on second reading can spot the items the boy includes in the recipes for himself. Particularly good for reading to children in school.
