A very simple story that walks kids through the cake-making process. The cake recipe at the end is a nice bonus, and enables families to enjoy their own "cake day."

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley. ( )

Being a grandma, I loved this book. What a wonderful thing for a grandmother and her grandchild to do together. The vocabulary is great and the way the grandmother talks to her grandson will help to develop his vocabulary. This is exactly what I do with my grandson. The rhyming of cake, bake, shake develop another vocabulary skill. I loved the illustrations. They show the happiness and glee of both characters and make the story even more enjoyable. I liked the pages at the end that explain about developing vocabulary in young children and how to encourage it naturally. I will definitely be reading this one over again with my grandson and we will be making a cake. This book would make a great addition to any family library with young children. ( )
