Publisher's Synopsis
Being six years old, Maple Wafflehoffer decides she's old enough to uphold the family tradition of baking waffles at the yearly county fair. Maple pours the flour, beats the eggs and milk, then folds in the blueberries to make the best waffles she has ever made. Unfortunately, Maple comes in second place, losing to the school bully Priscilla Fry, who teases Maple about losing. Maple is sad at first, then looks across the tent at her family, who are cheering and clapping. Maple realizes that coming in second place isn't that bad, especially for the first time entering a competition. Maple proudly excepts her second-place ribbon, knowing she can enter the baking competition again next year.
