Reviews

". . . the mouthwatering spreads of cake after cake, all elaborately decorated, are hard to resist. Basho's anthropomorphized mice are sweetly old-fashioned in their dress, mannerisms and surroundings." --Kirkus Reviews

"From young to old, and old to young -- a human being's full circle journey. What seemed especially 'Japanese' to me was this reverence and respect for the elderly, something that is inherent in Asian culture but is sometimes lacking in Western society, where old people become invisible and are often cast aside. In The Homemade Cake Contest, the elderly are a vital part of the community, and I think it's important for children to see that. This sweet story with its old fashioned flavor is interesting on several levels. Enjoy it with a cup of warm tea.: )" --Jama Rattigan, Jama's Alphabet Soup, jamarattigan.com
