There Are No Bears In This Bakery

Sweet Noir Read-Aloud

“I’m the whiskers of this neighborhood. And if it flutters, scurries, or scampers here, I know about it. The name is Muffin. And this is my tale.” Our orange cat gumshoe is in for a surprise late-night encounter. The pictures are evocative and full of adorable animal emotions, and the words are straight out of a noir narrator’s mouth. Your kid won’t get the reference for why you’re reading the book like a grizzled old detective, but you’ll be having fun, which means they’ll be having fun! (And if they're anything like my storytime kids, they'll love forming their own hunches as to where this case is leading.)
