Reviews

"The story of Mickey's nighttime adventure in the bakers' kitchen is a highly original dream fantasy [with] deliciously playful illustrations [and a] chantable, easily remembered text. Pure delight for young children." -- Booklist

"Mickey is pure joy. . . or as the cooks chorus MILK IN THE BATTER! MILK IN THE BATTER! WE BAKE CAKE! AND NOTHING'S THE MATTER! (Can it go without saying that the pictures are superb.)" -- Kirkus Reviews

"Marvelous." -- Common Sense Media
