Amazon knows me. It's scary sometimes, but also nice because the book suggestions that pop up are how I stumbled across this adorable book that is just right for back to school!
Rude Cakes by Rowboat Watkins
I took one look at the cover and the title of this book and knew that I had to have it. When it came in I couldn't open it fast enough and let me just say, it doesn't disappoint!
This little gem will be the perfect, light hearted way to talk about manners! I can't wait to read this one with my firsties...I can hear the giggles now.
Here is what Amazon has to say:
Who knew that cakes were so rude?! In this deliciously entertaining book, a not-so-sweet cake—who never says please or thank you or listens to its parents—gets its just desserts. Mixing hilarious text and pictures, Rowboat Watkins, a former Sendak fellow, has cooked up a laugh-out- loud story that can also be served up as a delectable discussion starter about manners or bullying, as it sweetly reminds us all that even the rudest cake can learn to change its ways.
And since I can't help myself I'll leave you with this picture of one of my favorite pages from the book.
Happy Reading!
I have seen this book mentioned several times this summer and it looks like a great find. Pinned to remember! P.S. I was just thinking....I still miss your owl. Lol...you know I can never let things go! Was thinking about you big time as I hung up my Unfinished work folders...greatest organizational tool I use...all thanks to you! xo
