This charming book is absolutely adorable. A young girl spends the day at the beach "baking" sand cakes, sand cookies and other desserts. She is frustrated that no one wants to eat her concoctions. But it doesn't stop her from making more. The repetitive rhyming rhythm will have children chanting along. The beautiful colorful illustrations are charming. All the faces were so expressive, they were very funny. The best part of the book was the surprise customer at the end.
