44 TINY CHEFS

Narrator Imogen Sage sweetly introduces Betsy and her 44 mice, who make the best treats in all of London. Listeners will enthusiastically accompany the group as they help Bertram, Betsy's dad, bake treats to compensate for their favorite bakery closing. After Buckingham Palace samples the baked goods, the Royals place a huge order for a garden party. Sage deftly describes tempting recipes and mouthwatering concoctions, along with adorable mice who also play the piano. When the family can't keep up with the Palace's order, the mice are needed to frost the goodies. However, they must escape the notice of the well-rendered mean and fussy food inspector after one of the critters goes missing. Listeners of all ages will relish this tasty listen, which includes a cameo appearance by none other than Queen Elizabeth herself. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2021]
