This is a beautiful book.  I love the illustrations and the story.  This is a story of Alfonso who loves Ida, but Ida doesn’t even look at him she is always reading.  He decides to bake her an apple cake.

Alfonso makes the cake and puts it in the oven to bake and Ida looks up to see what smells so good.  Together they eat the cake.

There is a recipe for Apple Cake in the back of the book.
