My coworker told me that they were coming out with a sequel to "The Bakery Dragon." And by they, I mean Devin Elle Kurtz. The sequel: "The Bakery Dragon and The Fairy Cake."
["Running a bakery is no cakewalk for a tiny dragon with a big sweet tooth! In this follow-up to The Bakery Dragon, tummy rumbles turn to belly laughs as Ember learns to bake a cake with a sprinkle of fairy tale magic.
Batter up!
Ember is in charge of the bakery while the baker takes a trip and he's excited to show what he can do! When an opinionated fairy princess swoops in demanding a cake, he eagerly agrees. So what if he's only baked bread before? How hard can it be?
The sugar hits the fan when Ember's first attempt is a complete disaster. He tries again and again, but the royal customer is not happy. Everyone told Ember he was such a good baker, so why can't he get this right? If he doesn't figure it out soon, the only thing on the menu will be humble pie.
Magic shimmers on every page of this feel-good picture book about making friends, making dessert and the power of perseverance."]
The first book is a cute little tale about friendship and acceptance and the real gold in life: bread.
This second book was about new friends, new adventures, failing but trying again, and where to go when you don't know what to do next: the library.
This book was just as beautiful and colorful and popping as the first. It was punny and adorable and just plan perfect. It has a message, but it's subtle enough that it's not in your face (looking at you German fairy tales).
I can't wait to bring this to book fairs in the fall!
