Description

Tomorrow is Grandmonster's 247th birthday, and Tillie has a boo-rilliant idea. She's going to bake a birthday cake! But when Uncle Hairy gobbles up Tillie's near-Pierrefect Squirmin' Chocolate Cake, she rushes to bake another. SPLAT! And another. "MY CAKE!" And another. SHRIEK! Baking on her own isn't easy, and Tillie makes many mistakes, learning that with a little patience, care, and determination, she can do just about anything. After all, like star chef Pierre du Monstre says, "A baker always rises to the occasion!" Monster Baker includes a recipe of Tillie's favorite cookies: Chocolate Cherry Scaries!

Reviews

"Creative food names contain plenty of giggle-inducing puns, and the bright illustrations add to the fun.... A little patience and plenty of creativity create a recipe for a yummy success!" - Kirkus

Laura resides in upstate New York with her husband, daughters, two cats, one dog, and several sagging bookshelves. @llavoieauthor Vanessa Morales is a Mexican illustrator with a deep love for the natural, the whimsical, and the fantastical.
