Booklist - 05/01/2024 While a storm rages outside on their island, Margot and Grandad are busy inside with comfort-food preparations. The girl is eager for her mama to sail home so they can all enjoy a yummy meal of grilled-cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. While waiting for Mama’s safe return, several seafarers seek shelter from the rocky waves and thick fog, and Grandad offers them a warm welcome, a dry place to stay, and a hearty bite to eat. The lively text offers plenty of pleasing sounds and repetition: “Grilled cheese? Yes, please!” “Stir, stir, stir. Bread, cheese, mayo, tsss.” When Margot frets that the food will run out, Grandad reassures her that generosity nourishes everyone. In community-building spirit, all the guests offer a helping hand. Kleyn’s atmospheric illustrations capture a water rescue and a potluck party. A recipe for “The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich in the History of Grilled Cheese Sandwiches” is included. This Stone Soup–flavored companion story to Set Sail for Pancakes (2022) offers a satisfying blend of cooperation, teamwork, and warmth. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
