marcel the pastry chef

a great, heart-warming story about an undog...this time a hippo...who makes good. Hilarious and delicious. If you love good pastry, you'll love this delicious dessert for the heart and mind.

A great book to sink your teeth in

Marcel the Pastry Chef is a fabulous find for children, or just children at heart. This book is mouth-wateringly delightful to read aloud or to yourself. The words are phrased in a poeticially beautiful story of a talented hippo, who is a cook. I would deffinately recommend this cozy and fun book.
