First sentence: "Mimi, time to wake up!" Mimi peeked out the window and saw..."SNOW! MOM! It's a snow day!" She yelled as she rushed downstairs.
Premise/plot: A little girl bakes gingerbread cookies with her grandmother on a snowy winter's day.
My thoughts: Baking can be fun. And few things are more fun for a child than baking with a beloved adult. In this case, it's NONNI. Simple baking techniques are shown in this one.
Overall, I liked this one. The story is the most thrilling but it does try to capture the joy of an experience that actually is thrilling.
