A delicious folktale sure to make you laugh! Oh no, Maw Maw is out of the most important ingredient for her beautiful buttery biscuits- sody sallyraytus! She sends her family off, one by one, with a warning about the bear at the bridge. Follow along as they try unsuccessfully to get the sody sallyraytus home. Who knew that a friendly, and very hungry, squirrel would jump in to save the day! Readers can make their own fluffy biscuits with the recipe included at the end.
My Take on the Book
Dianne de Las Casas's story is an adaptation of an Appalachian folktale called "Sody Sallyraytus" (which means baking soda)
As I read the story I thought it would promote retelling by a young child due to the repetition. After several times listening to the story my youngest granddaughter would easily be able to "read " it to an adult.
The author included a recipe for Baking Soda biscuits that Maw Maw in the story prepared for her family. Enjoy the story and I encourage you to bake the biscuits with your children.
