Book Review: The Bakery Dragon

The Bakery Dragon is a children’s fantasy book written and illustrated by Devin Elle Kurtz. It was published in 2024 by Alfred A. Knopf (Penguin Random House is the parent company). The story is about a little dragon named Ember who, like all dragons, loves gold more than anything.

While the bigger dragons can spew out fire and scare people into giving them gold, Ember can only spew out a small flame and cannot scare villagers into giving him anything.

The Cat Chef



The Cat Chef is one of the best chefs around.

Heavenly foods for cats always abound!

She puts mice in dough and beats them dead,

To make warm fluffy loaves of buttery mice bread.


Dropping mice in boiling pots of milk, catnip, and cream,

She makes the most delicious stew a cat could ever dream.

She fries mice tails seasoned with salt, pepper, and spice,

And makes a side of catnip sauce and soft white rice.


She makes roasted rabbits, each with an apple stuffed in their mouth,

Their sweet aroma draws every cat from the north and south.

She makes whisker-licking good chicken with a side of honeydew,

It’s so tasty it makes even the most feral cats mew.


She makes biscuit wraps filled with anchovies and flounder.

You are welcome to stuff yourself, but you may become rounder.

And the dessert, oh the dessert, what a wonderful sight,

The tastiest and most salivating sugary delights!


Blueberry frozen yogurt and mice cheesecakes,

Chunks of salmon sprinkled on foaming milkshakes!

Fish and rodent jellies and puddings with gumdrops,

Pumpkin pies, and vanilla ice cream with tuna heads on top!


The Cat Chef uses the best ingredients,

From chipmunks to sea trout,

So hurry, grab her treats at once, 

Before she runs out!
