Ruby Raccoon wants to bake a cake, but she doesn't know how. Her friends offer some interesting suggestions: "I always enjoy snails," says Dan Duck; "Don't forget wiggly worms," says Jenny Wren.

This is a gentle story about Ruby, a raccoon, who wants to bake a cake. The only problem is she doesn't know how! She asks her friends what to put into the cake, and the result is very interesting. The story is a lesson on kindness, good manners and friendship.

This review is from: Ruby Bakes a Cake (I Can Read! / Ruby Raccoon) (Paperback)

Another sweet Ruby book! Ruby wants to bake a cake, but she doesn't know how to do it. She consults her friends, and they all give her a different item to include, to their liking. It's so cute how they suggest nuts, carrot tops, snails, wiggly worms, and flies. What's funnier is that Ruby goes home and includes each thing! She's a bit concerned about how it smells, but her friends still come over to eat it. Despite Ruby saying it doesn't taste good, her friends encourage her. They compliment it's size, shape, color, and how juicy it is. Ruby thanks God for her friends and the cake!
