The King Cake Baby

The King Cake Baby

"No,Â ma chÃ©rie!Â You can't catch me!"Â SoÂ brags the runaway in thisÂ trickster tale.Â Â The little plastic baby hidden inside a traditional Mardi Gras King Cake escapes the kitchen of an old couple in the French Quarter, runs faster than a praline lady in Jackson Square and a waiter at CafÃ© du Monde who all try to catch him. But on his way to the Mississippi River and the Creole QueenÂ riverboat, he meets a clever baker who knows exactly where this baby belongs.Â

This tasty new retelling of an old folktale sparkles with French phrases, New Orleans colloquialisms, and vibrant, comic-book style artwork depicting the city's characters and treasures. Includes an easy king cake recipe. Bon appÃ©tite!
