(2) K-3 Illustrated by Janet Stevens. In a slapstick cooking lesson, Big Brown Rooster makes a strawberry shortcake with help from Turtle, Iguana, and Potbellied Pig--who look for flour in the garden and tablespoons under the table. Sidebars provide pointers and background information for would-be bakers. Digital and photographic images are seamlessly integrated into the large, elegantly composed mixed-media illustrations.
