Laddie and Nash are Papa Buck’s two fur babies who want to be like Buck, who owns Buck’s Best Batch. Anita Hinson Cauthen tells their story in Laddie and Nash Learn to Bake. This engagingly written picture book for children follows the adventures of Laddie and Nash as they learn the skills and enjoyment of baking. Early one morning, the two secretly catch a ride on Papa Buck’s van to learn what he does at his bakery. They hide and watch Papa Buck hard at work until he goes to take a break. As he is napping, the two puppies try making sweets, but they find it is not as easy as it looks. The hilarious outcomes will delight your child, and the lessons learned will serve them into adulthood. Among other things, they will learn always to be proud of what they do.
Anita Hinson Cauthen’s Laddie and Nash Learn to Bake is a delightful children’s read. Anita helps children understand that curiosity is normal and is one of the ways children learn about the world around them. Tim Stringer's beautiful and colorful illustrations add even more humor to the story. As a parent, one of your jobs is to teach your children life skills while keeping them safe. Children should not use electric mixers or put cakes in a hot oven alone. As they grow up, they can safely use machines after receiving instructions on how to use them properly. At the end of the book, there is a recipe for Tea Ball Cookies so you and your children can practice safe baking skills. Spend time with your children discussing curiosity, kitchen safety, what they want to be when they grow up, nutrition, and doing well in any job they have. I recommend this book to all since cooking is a vital life skill.
