This book is cute, but very wordy and perhaps more for adults than kids. It's the story of an older couple who open a library/cafe. The man is determined to bake the right desserts, and the woman builds a machine that changes books into dessert. Gasp!

Devour this book!
When you combine a library and a cafe, you are bound to discover some interesting combinations. Grandmommy and Granddaddy want to open a bakery and are able to do so in the old library. They repurpose the building but know little about starting a business. They are not ready to open and they cope with their problem in their own way. The result is magical and delicious, crazy and amazing, smart and funny. I read it to my daughter who liked to predict what would happen next. Her older brother was listening in and caught a few references to books and mechanical things that he understood better than her. It is a cute story with even cuter pictures. It is also the kind of story that children can grow with. Right now my 8-year old likes the pictures and the general plot. As she gets older and wiser in classic stories, she may understand the references better as her prior knowledge increases.
