Baking with children and/or monsters is always a joyful occasion. Austin presents silly monsters who are preparing for an occasion and young readers can join the parade as they follow along counting and mixing ingredients.

Rhyming text, various size font, and fun illustrations combine to make an entertaining read for preschool and early grade students. Families who cook together will be delighted by Monsters Love Cupcakes.
