Industry Reviews
Bravo, owner of the Olga's Cup and Saucer bakery in Little Compton, R.I., serves up a delectable tale of a girl who's just itching to work at the tiny roadside cafe next door, also called Olga's Cup and Saucer. All summer long Nickel Penny, who with her freckles and carroty braids bears a distinct resemblance to Pippi Longstocking, woos the baker by doing what she can to help out picking strawberries for the muffins, blueberries and peaches for the cobbler. At last she is allowed into the baker's kitchen, and when a slip-up sends a box of raspberries hurtling through the air, she accidentally invents a new dessert. The angular lines of Bravo's whimsical watercolors teeter across the pages, radiating a quirky energy. Slight but engaging, the story is garnished with a handful of mouthwatering recipes, including Nickel Penny's "Fresh Raspberry Pizza." For the recipes, parental guidance is advised these are full-blown culinary creations. Ages 5-8. (Mar.)

Gr 2-4 This odd picture book seems to exist in order to call attention to the author-illustrator's small bakery in Little Compton, RI, set next to a farm stand. The story follows Nickel Penny, the farmer's daughter, who edges her way into becoming the baker's helper. Five recipes appear as the months go by: in June it's ``Strawberry Corn Muffins''; in July ``A-Z Afternoon Cake''; and three others through September all healthy and interesting. Nickel Penny is an eager helper who in the watercolor and ink illustrations looks like Pippi Longstocking. Perhaps a visit to Olga's would make this book more appealing; as it is, it appears to be a disjointed narrative running among some good recipes.
