The watercolor illustrations are impeccable. . . This humorous book would be ideal for a storytime reading.""--School Library Journal ""Debut talent Malbrough celebrates the act of culinary creation and the joy of being absorbed in a personal passion--and, like the best desserts, he doesn't let his story get too sweet. In one of many lovely watercolor spreads, Marigold blends glossy curls of shaved chocolate and a ribbon of molasses into the batter. . . Doing what one loves, Malbrough shows, makes it possible to transcend even the basest instincts.""--Publishers Weekly
