You are my cupcake, my cutie pie, and my mushy little sweet pea

You are my cupcake, my cutie pie, and my mushy little sweet pea
After seeing Joyce Wan's board book, We Belong Together I am so in love with her. So of course I had to check out You Are My Cupcake, in the same series. Let's just say it's absolutely delicious and I want to eat it up in a major way.
Each page pops with vibrant colors and sweet illustrations that are textured, giving babies a sensory experience. All of the terms of endearment are covered here--starting with "cupcake"--but with a twist. We call our babe a "sweet pea," but in Wan's world, she's a "mushy little sweet pea." Your cutie pie is "oven baked" and your little peanut is "honey roasted." I'm getting hungry just writing this post.

I tested the book out on a group of parents and their babies and every single one (adult and child) wanted to take a bite out of the book. Good thing it's a board book so it can hold up to some serious drool. -Eva

You Are My Cupcake is available at your local independent bookstore, or our affiliate,  Amazon.
