Review
Initially, the sparkly cover of this book drew me in. The illustrations are also quite good. The big drawback to this title is that the text reads extremely poorly. It does not lend itself to a smooth readaloud experience, is jumpy and nonsensical in the extreme. Cookie baby, Jelly baby, Candy baby? This simply does not appeal. Do not waste your time.
Overall Book Score: poor
