Recently we checked out a book from the library called Cook-a-Doodle-Doo by Janet Stevens that Fletcher just loved. It's a really cute story about a rooster who is tired of eating chicken feed and soon discovers the cookbook of his great grandmother, The Little Red Hen and sets his mind to making Strawberry Shortcake. The dog, cat, and goose all refuse to help, but the turtle, iguana, and potbellied pig are anxious to assist, with hilarious results. Yesterday, following the recipe provided in the book, we made Strawberry Shortcake with our own group of humorous characters: Fletcher, Grandmaw, and Mommy! This would have been a great(er) learning experience had we picked the strawberries ourselves, but even so, it was a success as Fletcher remembered lines from the book as well as did all the mixing and whipping himself.
