Little Pig bakes a chocolate cake for Little Bear's birthday, following directions in the precise way that small children can identify with. Just as the piglet chef is adding whipped cream to the garnish of strawberries, along come Rabbit and Duck, who are allowed samples. Luckily the birthday bear shows up before the round robin of tasings gains too much momentum, and they all enjoy every last crumb. Full color.

This review is from: Birthday Cake for Little Bear, (Paperback)
This book has been my 3 1/2 year old son's favorite book since we got it in the mail from a book club at least a year ago. My son loves books about trucks, and this is not about trucks. He also doesn't normally like books about animals. I don't know exactly what it is about this book that he loves so, except that it is a great story, so cute, and with great pictures. Maybe its the little details about the cooking process. It goes through how little pig bakes the cake for little bear's birthday: the ingredients and measurements and placing it in the oven and watching it. Then little pig's friends arrive one by one and each taste the cake and make reccomendations about making it even tastier. Little pig listens to their recommendations and makes some changes. But by the time they are done tasting it, there isn't alot of cake left for little bear. But when little bear does arrive, all of the friends sit in the yard together and eat the rest of it and chat with each other. Then little bear walks home contemplating what a great birthday it was and how he got such a great cake. It makes him feel so special. And he holds this cute little flag on his way home although it never says where he got it (intriguing). Then he goes to bed. The book gives you such a nice warm feeling. My son's favorite part is when they are all tasting the cake at once and get it all over them and the floor. This makes him giggle every time. I would categorize this book in the 3 to 5 year old range, but also good for younger and older ages. And this is one of those books that even the parent loves to read, no matter how many times or how often (we have read it way more than 100 times, many nights in a row)! Everybody should own this book! I know it will remain my son's favorite for year's to come.
