Review
This was definitely a case of 'judging a book by its cover.' We took one look at that adorable dragon salivating over bread and knew we needed to read it!
Ember the dragon doesn't have a horde of gold, so he goes into the village to do something about it. While there, a human saves him from a flood and introduces him to something better than gold: Freshly baked bread. #relatable.
In the second book, Ember is a 'natural' at baking but when a customer asks for something he's never baked before he thinks maybe he's not cut out for it. It's a great little lesson that just because you are good at something doesn't mean it will always be easy but if you are willing to learn and practice you can conquer that hurdle too! I adore these books and can't wait to gift them to my nephews!

Official Blurb: The Bakery Dragon
"Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww.
Ember fears he’ll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal—and gold that is shared? That’s best of all.
Magic shimmers on every page of Devin Elle Kurtz's feel-good picture book that celebrates baked goods, dragons, and generosity in equal measure. Filled with adorable illustrations, this is a perfect read aloud for bedtime or brunch time!" - from Amazon

Official Blurb: The Bakery Dragon and the Fairy Cake
Batter up!
Ember is in charge while the baker takes a trip and he's excited to show what he can do! When an opinionated fairy princess swoops in demanding a cake, he eagerly agrees. So what if he's only baked bread before? How hard can it be?
The sugar hits the fan when Ember's first attempt is a complete disaster. He tries again and again, but the royal customer is not happy. Everyone told Ember he was such a good baker, so why can't he get this right? If he doesn't figure it out soon, the only thing on the menu will be humble pie.
Magic shimmers on every page of this whimsical story about how to bake a cake, make new friends and learn from your mistakes.
