Annotation: Once again Carrie is sent around the neighborhood, this time to find a rolling pin (three-handled, no less!) on a rainy Saturday. As she stops by each neighbor she discovers they are all baking bread according to their family heritage: Barbadian coconut bread, Indian chapatis, South Carolina corn bread, Lebanese pockets, Jewish challah, Salvadoran pupusas, and Carrie’s great-grandmother’s braided Italian bread. There are seven recipes at the end of the book for readers to bake their own international breads.
Rationale: While children will need supervision in the kitchen to make these breads, not all will need help reading this lovely sequel to Everybody Eats Rice. Illustrated by Peter J. Thornton, this is a nice read-aloud for the younger crowd, as well as a good read for the intermediate reader.
