Summary:It's time for Eva to begin her first year of school, but she'd much rather help Papa in the music store. She doesn't understand the fuss at school about standing in a line and sitting in a circle when it's much better to spin in a circle and never sit at all. But a piano in a music room reminds her of the sweet sounds of home, just as a slice of Papa's honey cake reminds her of the sweet taste of learning. For fans of Patricia Polacco's and Tomie dePaola's picture books, The Sweetest Taste is a warm and satisfying story of family, tradition, and love of learning. Includes a recipe for Honey Cake.
