Inspired by the book given to DJ by los Abu for Christmas, he and E have been requesting for
days that we make “Moose Mud Muffins!”
Yesterday we adapted the recipe given in
the book – and are enjoying the muffins immensely!
In addition to the four If You Give... stories, this “book treasury” includes recipes, songs, games, and even a “behind the scenes” glimpse of some outtakes from the artist’s
sketchbook.
It’s a current read-aloud favorite in our family – and has already become a summer vacation bonus!
An added bonus for
me was hearing DJ read the recipe instructions out loud to me as I mixed the dry and wet ingredients together. He’s becoming an accomplished reader far more quickly than I would have anticipated – and is a joy for my parent and teacher heart! J
