K-Gr 2—A delightful culinary adventure perfect for read-alouds with early primary grade children. Timmy el Conejo (Timmy the rabbit) sets out to find the most magical recipe, climbing to the top of mountain peaks. Meanwhile, his many friends offer Timmy clues and tips to aid in his search. Each trek up the summit turns out to have just the right ingredient for a new dish, including potatoes with creamy yogurt, savory carrot soup, and fluffy vanilla cupcakes. The authors offer easy-to-follow recipes for each of the dishes, lending an interactive touch to their story. At last, Timmy achieves his goal. Reaching the highest summit, he meets Carl el Águila (Carl the Eagle), guardian of the magical recipe. Pleased, and a little bit surprised that such a tiny rabbit has reached the highest summit, Carl rewards Timmy's courage and tenacity by giving him the golden scroll containing the magical recipe. Indeed, the reward is sweet as Timmy treats his friends to the most magical and super delicious chocolate cake ever. Lubi's soft pastel illustrations harmonize with this darling tale of perseverance, teamwork, and tasting sharing.
VERDICT Spanish-speaking patrons will delight in this culinary adventure made for read-alouds.
