Simple, sweet story of one man's attempts to get the attention of a book-obsessed woman by baking her a cake. You might think that isn't a relevant subject for the picture book crowd, but the author/illustrator makes the protagonist's journey quite kid-friendly. Nice lesson for children about the effectiveness of kind acts. Stylized illustrations add fun to the book. Art is imaginative and whimsical. Apple cake recipe included on the back endpapers.
