We found this book in the library, borrowed it, and since them "read it" multiple times a day (including bedtime), every day...until I got tired of renewing it and decided to get our own copy. Book has detailed illustrations of various construction vehicles...that may help to learn how to draw these vehicles as well. Construction vehicles have various attachments I did not even know exist...this book couples well with "Digger" from series Machines at Work, you'll find real photographs of many of the diggers depicted in "Who made the cake" in "Digger".[...]
My 3 year old son is REALLY into tractors right now and REALLY into cake. So I saw this on and thought this would be a perfect birthday gift for his 3 year birthday party (as it was construction themed). He loves the book, it's about a bunch of tractors/trucks mixing and baking a cake. The illustrations are fun, but the book is sorely lacking on words. Some nights, though, that's a good thing if I don't feel like reading a long book to him before bed.One neat little thing about the book is that just about every page, there is a little guy who has fallen down on the ground. It's kind of like a "Where's Waldo" game. We find the "oopsy" guy who fell down. We still can't find him on one page, but we'll keep looking!
Oh the details and creativity! Our grandsons love construction vehicles and they have enjoyed hours noticing people, machines, and the tasks each do to create the birthday cake. We first discovered this at the public library and had to have a copy of our own.
I am a retired librarian. I ran an ES library for 33 years, then a HS for 4 years, and retired 8 years...so w/o my reviewing sources, I'm a bit outta touch. The reviewers are 100% right on this one. All the construction machines a boy would want, great illustrations w/ marvelous detail, cheerful, colorful, imaginative, and a birthday story to boot. GREAT b'day gift for children up to 9 maybe. LOVE IT! KSB
My whole family loves this book. I think that those who do not have forgotten how fun it is to have an imagination. One must suspend belief for a brief time and enjoy the possibility of a tiny construction crew who's soul pupose is to make cakes! The artist took a lot of time drawing the little construction workers as well. Challenge your child to try and find the one who is always falling down, the pair who do the sweeping up etc... Excellent book!
We bought this when our kid was 20 months old and it has been part of the regular bedtime story rotation for months now. The book works on many different levels -- charming, whimsical illustrations; simple, easy to understand text; and our son who is crazy about both cake and construction trucks loves the book. I now give this book as a birthday gift to his little friends.
It's a very cute book and the illustrations are fun to look at. Other reviews have mentioned that the story does not have many words, however, I think it's fine because little kids have short attention span.
This book is adorable. We found it at our public library and my boys liked it so much we had to buy it. The book is about tractors who make a little boys birthday cake. My kids enjoy reading the book then playing with their tractors and flour and "making a cake".Love this book!
