Edlund, Bambi

"Two enterprising mice, Ginger and Mac, are on a mission to bring home an especially aromatic vanilla cupcake with pink buttercream frosting. They have discovered that the amount of work you need to put into a job can almost always be decreased by using one of six simple machines: a lever, a wheel and axle, a pulley, an inclined plane, a wedge or a screw. Simple machines have only one or two parts that can usually be found around the house--and they can make life a lot easier! Ginger and Mac make use of all six simple machines and manage to overcome all obstacles in their mission to secure a delicious frosted treat"--Provided by the publisher.

"It's lunchtime, and all the animals are hungry. In fact, you're feeling hungry too, and you know exactly what to make-delicious peanut butter sandwiches for everyone! The recipe is surprisingly complicated, but you're not worried. You gather the critters and a few necessary items (the peanuts and bread, of course, and don't forget the accordion and wooden clogs!), and then you get started!"--Publisher.
