The watercolor illustrations are impeccable. . . This humorous book would be ideal for a storytime reading."--School Library Journal"Malbrough's watercolor illustrations are full of charmingly zany details, from dapper Marigold's polka-dot bow tie to the chocolate splatters after the birds take over the cake making, and the creatures' over-the-top facial expressions amp up the comedy. Playful rhymes and surprising page turns make this a great pick for a group storytime, and the comical ending . . . will be a valuable one for kiddos."--BOOKLIST "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"Clever text follows the illustrations around the page, swirling with chocolate shavings and molasses as Marigold mixes his batter. The lush, textured watercolors match the energy of the story . . . Kids will giggle over the antics of both cat and birds during readalouds and will find plenty of humorous details to discover in the illustrations on their own."--BCCB
