A young boy and his grandfather bake a cake in this rhyming picture book. They begin as the young boy washes his hands with his grandfather, Pop Pop, nearby. The rhymes reflect the young cook's actions as he prepares the cake. Throughout the baking, the boy's grandfather provides support. The interaction between the adult and the child as they perform the tasks of making the cake is one of the best things about this story. While some of the rhymes appear a bit forced, Ms. Smalls has chosen some wonderful sounding words. The artist, Cathy Ann Johnson, does a nice job of illustrating the activity from different perspective on different places of the pages. The soft tones of the illustrations suit the gentle bond between the two cooks. The illustration of the grandfather and child is one of the best because it shows the enthusiasm they have for the culinary project. Some of the baking steps are not included. Nevertheless, this is a small quibble about a book that shows a warm, cooperative, unique project between two generations of males. This book is a good way to introduce poetry and words that illustrate sound in a early elementary classroom.

Grandfather- called Pop Pop -and his grandson make a tasty Lemon Bar Cake. From putting on the chef hat to clean up afterward, the reader is entertained with the rhythmic poetic flow of the text- “Sniff sniff the lemon whiffPeel peel I love the lemon feel Pish pish the lemon till it’s squished”Reading this book made my mouth water for some Lemon Bar Cake and was happy to find the recipe in the back. A great story to read with your own grandchild! And to follow-up with some cake baking of your own. (Just don’t get any batter on the book!)Anchorage School District
