Chocolate Mud Delight!

I love the joyful simplicity of this and the sister book, "Me Too! Me Too!" Both stories show the play and imagination of two little sisters, from the perspective of the slightly older. In this one, the earnest imaginings of "baking" a cake from mud, "Jenny takes the sticks out." are comfortable and not at all saccharine. A nice twist at the end, too. Enjoy. My son did. - Mother of two under five. P.S. I think both of these are much better "sibbling" introduction books than some of those which assume the older child will be overcome with resentment for the younger.
