Nayu's thoughts
The story gets cuter on every page!) the front cover drew me in,
then I read while mentally squee-ing with fangirl glee at how adorable
the bears look. They all have a different style of dress, my
favourite being the girl bears.

| So cute! |
I love the fine details which scream
'bear' - the honey pot looks like a hive, there's a bee honey cake,
and a bear shaped squeezy bottle of something. There's plenty of
encouragement, fun and good cheer in each baking challenge which
certainly mirrors a certain BBC baking show that's just come back on
TV, wih the way different types of baking is tested, how there are some disasters, and how there's a
picnic at the end. Oh and there's a best baker award too!
I'm sure
many readers will easily imagine themselves as the bears, and will
want something sweet after reading it too (I had chocolate cookies
freshly baked by my family!) It should inspire many readers to try
baking-mistakes happen, and everyone improves at their own rate. Never
give up - you will be baking fine cakes eventually. I was impressed at
the range of items mentioned in book, including spelt and /or soda
bread, I've forgotten which. It says some pitfalls like too soggy/dry
which happens when you start baking new dishes. I haven't yet tried
out the bear buns recipe at the end of the book, aka cupcakes, but it
sounds very tasty!
