Cranberry Birthday
- Category: Ages 3-8, Upcoming Titles, Worldwide Books
Summer release
"Mr. Whisker's sister Sarah is coming for his birthday," announces Maggie one bright summer day. "He's cooking!" she adds.
"Oh, NO!" cries Grandmother. She remembers the awful crab fritters and burnt chocolate cake she had at Mr. Whiskers' house, the very menu he is planning for his sister! How will she convince her old friend that he needs help?
Down in his gray cottage by the sea, Mr. Whiskers is happily preparing for his persnickety sister's visit. The trouble begins when Grandmother and Maggie join him for a picnic at Cedar Creek. Mr. Whiskers bravely rescues a puppy from the water, but Maggie tells him that he can't keep the little dog, it belongs to someone else.
Then Mr. Whisker's cooking attempts end in a sticky bowl, a charred pan, and a virtual explosion of burned muffins. "Suffering codfish, I hate birthday!" he sighs.
Can Mr. Whiskers' friends save his birthday celebration? It's all in the hand of Maggie and Grandmother in wholesome addition to the beloved Cranberryport series.
Since cranberries are out of season on Mr. whiskers' birthday, Grandmother uses her strawberry birthday cake recipe which is in the back.
