If you like The Gingerbread Man, I bet you’ll like The King Cake Baby too. It’s the classic story done New Orleans’ style. From King Day, January 6th, until Fat Tuesday, people in New Orleans bake cakes with tiny babies hidden inside, but one escapes. He takes you on a tour of New Orleans that includes the Café du Mond, and he serves up slices of French culture. Don’t forget to read the back matter! It includes a simple recipe for King Cake. Bon Appetit!
