School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 PreS-Gr 3—In a second story about Ember the dragon, he's still a natural baker and is very generous with sharing his creations. Then he is called on to make a new sort of cake, and Ember is flummoxed. It seems that Princess Turnip needs a birthday cake but Ember has never made one. Princess Turnip gives vague instructions; round and yellow, sweet and flat, layered with candles and flowers on top. Still, Ember can't get it right. Finally, Princess Turnip helps Ember find a recipe and the party is a great success. This, like the first book about Ember, wants to be more than a book about baking. There's a minor lesson on friendship and another about accepting help from others, as well as learning from the mistakes one's made. The illustrations are highly detailed and most have a golden hue enhancing the fairy-tale feeling. VERDICT Readers will enjoy this easygoing but slight story about perseverance and friendship.—Melisa Bailey - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
