Summary

Little Ellie the elephant is the only kid at the grown-up party. And when she can't reach the irresistible table of desserts, she wonders why everything is always for big people. Just then, Ellie hears a curious noise coming from a mouse hole in the kitchen--a chef mouse is baking a tiny pie in front of a live TV audience of mice! As Ellie observes the mouse's fantastical confectionary demonstrations, she learns that if you are big enough to eat dessert, then you can make it too! Mark Bailey and Michael Oatman's amiable writing cleverly introduces children to the five senses while playing with the notion of size, pairing perfectly with Edward Hemingway's endearing and nostalgic illustrations. Children drawn to animals and sweet treats will be encouraged to call back the text as it is read aloud, and parents will be delighted to see a delicious recipe contributed by celebrated chef, Alice Waters!

Excerpts

“Hello out there in TV Land!Welcome to Hole in the Kitchen Wall.
A cooking show for everyone, especially the small.
In this episode we are going to bake, in just under an hour,
A tasty treat, savory and sweet, that starts with unbleached flour.”

“Now I can see you wondering,Is this something I can do?
But if you’re big enough to eat dessert, then you can make it too.”

“So if anyone big ever comes up to you and asks . . .
‘What good are your tiny eyes?
What can you see?’”

“Just tell them you see . . .
‘Paws with itsy-bitsy claws,
As busy as can be.’”

“And if they ask . . .
‘What good are your tiny ears?
What can you hear?’”

“Tell them you hear . . .
‘Apples on a chopping block—
But please be careful dear.’”
