This is a Birthday Cake by Andrew Cangelose and Josh Shipley - HIGH

This is a Birthday Cake (This is a Taco #4) by Andrew Cangelose, illustrated by Josh Shipley. PICTURE BOOK. Oni Press, 2022. $16. 9781637150450

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Bucky and Shelly are baking a cake for a birthday party, but Bucky is too impatient to follow Shelly’s slow directions, so he grabs the recipe and makes the cake in his own chaotic way.

The fourth tongue-in-cheek book by this duo is as funny as the others.  Kids will happily point out all of the ways that Bucky is doing things wrong. I was, however, curious who the birthday celebration was, but never figured that part out.
