Customer Reviews

Delicious Entertainment!

Look out Amelia Bedelia! Big Brown Rooster and friends are cooking strawberry shortcake and the misunderstandings abound! Literal interpretations and great illustrations make this an extremely entertaining picture book. Read the book, create the shortcake, and eat it! The recipe included in the text is fantastic.

outrageous animation !

The animal's expressions are SO animated that it is a visual DELIGHT as well as a fun read ! What a treat !

My 3 and 4 year-olds' favorite - educational and fun!

This is a great book that has lots of depth. My three year old loves the repetition and the characterisation, without realizing he's learning concepts and facts about food and cooking. It's clearly their favorite book.

A must have book for your collection!

Not only is this book highly enjoyable, it is also very educational. Teachers, and parents alike, will enjoy sharing this delightfully funny story with children everywhere!

Delicious!!!

Not only is the book very creative and a great attention getter!!! But if you make the Strawberry Shortcake recipe in the back of the book you will find it wonderful. My son enjoyed making the shortcake with his grandma on the 4th of July and all of us enjoyed eating it!!!
