"What's in the Rømmegrøt?! settles like a warm pot of its namesake into the heart of a reader."

                                                                                                         Tanya O'Conner, Driftless Journal

Even Grandma makes mistakes learns young Ella as she and her Grandmother excitedly join forces to prepare a traditional family recipe.  When things go awry, young Ella steps in to save the day – and the rømmegrøt!

A recipe for rømmegrøt is included  and a coloring page invites budding rosemalers to try their hand at this traditional Norwegian folk art.

Ages 3 and up.

How Many Kransekaker?!

Readers spanning generations will cherish the story of Ella and her brother Aksel gathering in Grandma’s kitchen to prepare a kransekake— a “wreath cake.”  “Seems simple enough,” Ella mutters to her brother as they mix up the dough.  Soon they discover just how much patience and persistence are required!

A read-aloud book, How Many Kransekaker?!  is organized into four chapters, for ages 6 and up.
