The Best Place in the World
Hello, everyone!
This is Harlow and I’m going to tell you about one of the best places in the world: the library!
Finn talked a little bit about our library trips last month, but he left out some really important details, like how the library we go to has all the books in the world (probably)! Or the fact that the best part of visiting the library is actually the drive home. Once we’ve found all the new books, Mommy picks out a special book for each of us, and we get to read it on the way back home. Daddy says it’s the quietest the car is all week. That’s because Finn and I are too busy looking at our books to spend time talking. I can’t read yet, but I really like looking at each page and making up a story that goes along with the pictures. Later, when Mommy and Daddy read that book to us, it’s fun to learn what’s really going on! But sometimes, I think the story I made up is even better than the one in the book. Finn and I get a bunch of different books to read each week. We usually have different favorites, but one book we both really like is called “Traction Man is Here!” by Mini Grey. It’s about a cool action figure named Traction Man who goes on great adventures with his pet brush named Scrubbing Brush. There are a few different Traction Man books and they’re all so funny! We spend all week reading books together before returning them to the library. It’s a little sad to say goodbye to the books, but it’s pretty fun to drop them in the little return slot. Then we go inside the library and find more books to read!

• 2 1/4 cups cake flour • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp salt • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar • 1/2 cup butter • 1 cup milk • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 4 egg whites Equipment • 1 lamb-shaped, 3D cake mold Ingredients Directions
1. Heat oven to 375 F. Coat lamb cake mold with vegetable oil and wipe clean after a fewminutes. Then grease again and flour cake mold. 2. In a bowl, sift cake flour, then sift flour again with baking powder and salt. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together to form a batter. 4. Add flour mixture and milk to the batter alternately. 5. Stir batter until smooth and add vanilla extract. 6. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. 7. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into batter mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. 8. Fill cake mold with batter and avoid air pockets. Place the lid on the cake mold, secure it tightly, and place it on a cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour. 9. Let cake cool completely before decorating with frosting, candy, and edible Easter grass.
National Library Week is April 19–25, so if you haven’t been in a while, now is a perfect time to go to your local library. They have so many fun books! I know you’ll find something awesome to read.
