The Sugar Mouse ...I entirely agree with you all!!! The Sugar Mouse Cake MUST be brought back! I own 6 copies and loan them out constantly to the young people at the private school I cook at. They love the story! I wish we could track down any remaining family of Mr. Zion.

Though the chubby queen is not politically correct, she's kind of a good cautionary tale in that respect. She eats to excess and she gets sick, etc. Anyway, with all the food shows on TV and the interest in fancy cakes, I'll be the book would be a big hit if it was for sale these days. Along with Dare Wright's book The Lonely Doll, The SMC was and is my favorite children's book. I bought a used copy of it about twenty years ago and it cost me $60.00 back then! <br /><br />I'm glad someone else out there loves it too! I think the book must have presaged my life; I'm studying now to be a pastry chef (second career and all that)!<br /><br /><br />Jane <br />www.janessweets.blogspot.comJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-899261042767152902009-03-12T18:44:00.000-05:002009-03-12T18:44:00.000-05:00We have a similar history with the book Bravest of...We have a similar history with the book Bravest of All. A lovely story about an aging fireman. It has long been hard to find and expensive, sitting as it does on the junction of fire buff, Little Golden Book and African Americans in literature collecting.<BR/>It is so hard to find that when our copy got wet during one move, we actually dried it out in the oven and weighted it down with dictionaries to save it.<BR/>DH found a copy for $1 in an antique store last summer. I guess those days are gone.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009107720601931341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-6286460303082266762009-03-11T11:19:00.000-05:002009-03-11T11:19:00.000-05:00I'm afraid that a number of our books would now be...I'm afraid that a number of our books would now be considered contraband. I doubt that they would have any real value other than to the children who read and love them. It saddens me to think that future generations may not have the opportunity to do just that.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435192830239831841noreply@blogger.com
