I absolutely am a sucker for anything with dragons.
Thanks to a few Tumblr posts that brought this to my attention because it was too adorable 🥰
I loved the illustrations and the simple and heartwarming message. Plus baked goods are truly amazing!

I love The Bakery Dragon!
Ember is too little to scare people to get their gold, but when circumstances bring the baker and Ember together, he finds that golden bread can be a treasure too.
I thought he looked adorable washing his hands in bubbles. 🥰🐉

I started reading this to the students and they really love Ember. Everyone wants a dragon now. And bread. This book will make you hungry.

There is a greater than 100% chance that I read this book purely for the cute dragon on the cover. Is it for the childrens? Yes. Still worth it.

Nominated for the 2026 Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award, The Bakery Dragon delivers the simple moral that working for gold is better than stealing. Kids will love the detailed illustrations. I plan to practice reading for details using a short list of questions. #wsccpba

Starting this on audio - looking for something homey and comforting on a Sunday afternoon.

I absolutely love Ellie Alexander‘s cozy mysteries and this is such a fun series!

Fair warning: If you were severely bullied in school, skip this one. While high school for me was not horrible, middle school was trauma. Listening to this installment of the Cupcake Bakery mystery series was a bit of a trigger, especially the first two chapters. Mel is tricked into agreeing to cater her high school reunion by her best friend Angie. Yes, tricked. And yes, her best friend, who knew everything Mel went through in high school…⬇️⬇️⬇️
