Items related to Pat-a-Cake Baby
Mother-daughter team Joyce and Polly Dunbar offer a sweet and whimsical confection for babies, inspired by a nursery rhyme.
It’s late at night, and everyone is sleeping—except for pat-a-cake baby! All dressed up in his chef’s coat and hat, baby wants to make a very special cake. Time to wake up Candy baby, Jelly baby, and Allsorts baby—miniature cherubic figures who float through the pages to lend a hand. One by one, they add ingredients, from glitzy sugar to yolky jokey eggs, until it’s time to bake, pat, and decorate the cake. Finally it’s ready for tasting, just in time for a special guest (the man in the moon!) to have a slice. This surreal and colorful treat is just right for sending little ones off to dreamland.

PreS—All tongue-twisting rhythm and sugary rhyme, this story stars a baking baby who sneaks into the kitchen to create a sweet surprise while everyone is sleeping. Accompanied by three miniature and multicolored sous chefs, the baby mixes, pours, and sifts before it is finally Pat-a-Cake Time. With the moon as the guest of honor, the quartet of sticky babies enjoy the fruits of their labors when it is finally Eating Time. Pastel colors, sparkles, and dreamlike star-spangled backgrounds help suspend reality in this adaptation of the familiar rhyme. The rhyme scheme, word choices, and length may make reading aloud challenging without some practice beforehand. VERDICT By inviting audience participation in each rollicking step and possibly pairing the book with an actual baking activity, this sweet story can be a treat.—Jenna Boles, Greene County Public Library, Beavercreek, OH
