What Makes Bread Rise Up

Iris Fennimore

A tiny yeast family moves into a bowl of wet flour, eats sugar until it gets gassy, and burps so many bubbles that the whole dough puffs up like a pillow. Iris Fennimore turns kitchen science into a silly, living story where microbes have names and flour has secrets. Best for curious kids ages five to nine who like knowing how things work. Duncan Winslow reads it like a friendly uncle leaning over the counter, warm and unhurried, with pauses that let each burp land just right.
