I remember this book when I was younger and was definitely gripped to it.

[Steph Lovelady · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a cozy, charming collection of stories about a seven-year-old English girl whose family runs a bakery. The stories take place over the course of a year. The book is episodic with no real plot, which didn't bother me until the very end when the last story seemed anti-climactic (not just as the end of a book, but also within itself). My daughter liked it, even though it was below her reading level.
