What could be better than sharing a birthday cake with the friends who helped to bake it?
It’s one lucky toddler’s birthday, and of course there must be a cake. So the child asks some animal friends to gather ingredients, one by one: the chicken an egg, the bear some flour, the cat the butter and milk, the pig a pinch of salt, the dog some sugar, and the monkey a bunch of cherries for the top. After they all share the fun of making the cake, it’s even more fun to eat it! Helen Oxenbury’s winsome illustrations and simple, repetitive text make this an ideal gift for the youngest of children.
Delicious!
"Oxenbury's sweet little book from 1993 shines in this new edition. An Oversize padded boardbook with rounded corners that stand up beautifully. My daughter loves going over and over the subtle expressions of all the characters. This book also inspired a little help in the kitchen too. It's nice to see modern classics reinvented this way. So many wonderful titles have disappeared in reccent years. This is a great little title about sharing, giving, helping and baking. We love it and hope you will discover it too!"
