Review: Marigold Bakes a Cake

Marigold Bakes a Cake by Mike Malbrough
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was introduced to this book in a roundabout way. The author/illustrator is the son-in-law of a friend of my uncle's. My uncle bought it and I read it. And I will be buying it myself as soon as possible.
Such a fun book! It is a great read aloud. As a librarian, I am always looking for books I can use with classes and when I am reading a book and start hearing it in different voices I could use to read it aloud I get excited.
Marigold is a very persnickety kitty. He likes things just so. On baking days, he is alone. "No distractions. No exceptions" On this baking day others are not following the rules and it makes for chaos.

Such a fun fabulous book! I am recommending it to all the primary teachers at my school. This book could be the focus for so many lessons. Idioms, alliteration, rhyming, and word play, to name only a few. And what fun could be had making predictions as this book is read... I can't say enough great things about this book.

Oh how I hope that the author decides to let Marigold have many more adventures! Think of the great big world just waiting to annoy him!
