Cook-a-Doodle-Doo!

by Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel

"Cook-a-Doodle-Doo!" crows Big Brown Rooster. "Let's get cooking!" So Rooster and his eager assistants - Turtle, Iguana, and Potbellied Pig - set out to make the most wonderful, magnificent strawberry shortcake in the whole wide world. Rooster is glad to have help, but there's one big problem - none of his friends know how to cook! The team bravely forges ahead, and with Rooster's help they learn howe to measure flour (not with a ruler) and how to beat an egg (not with a baseball bat). But will they be able to keep Pig from gobbling up all the ingredients!

Take an old family recipe, add four funny friends, and mix in some cooking confusion - the result is sure to bring on belly laughs from beginning bakers and gourmet chefs alike!
