What are Leonard and Ruby up to?
And who will get the biggest surprise of all?

Review:
So long as you can stomach a story about mice that live in the pantry behind the biscuit tin trying their hand at baking then you’ll probably love this story. It’s really sweet and cute and funny and even has a recipe on the last page! My boys find it enchanting.

It’s a lovely story that would appeal equally to preschool boys and girls.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5
