A bakery order on an elephant-sized scale

Ginger, Tom, and Piper are sibling mice who run the Mouse and Spoon Bakery. Their latest customer, an elephant, orders more than 100 pound cakes for a birthday, along with banana bread for her monkey friends. The contrast between the mice’s small bakery and the very large order gives this early-reader story its central problem: can the three bakers manage it? The book introduces a bakery setting, a trio of siblings working together, and a simple challenge organized around preparing a big order.
