From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-4?A rainy-day story from the creators of Everybody Cooks Rice (Carolrhoda, 1991). Carrie is sent out into her multiethnic neighborhood to borrow a three-handled rolling pin. It seems like a demeaning errand for a girl who appears to be too bright to be that naive, but the adults see it as a joke, and she has a fine time visiting the neighbors, eating seven kinds of bread, and finding enough friends for a kickball game after the rain stops. She samples coconut bread from Barbados, chapatis from India, corn bread from South Carolina, pocket bread from Lebanon, challah from the Jewish "old country," pupusa from El Salvador, and braided bread from Italy. Recipes are included. Thornton's richly colored, softly realistic illustrations show the diversity of age and nationality, lifestyles, and staple foods of this friendly neighborhood.?Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
