Description
Raccoon decides to bake an apple cake. But he has no eggs, so visits Fox, who needs a ladder to mend the roof. Badger will have one, but he needs help too, so they set off to find Bear. Soon the five friends are having the best day out.
Quick Summary
A raccoon needs eggs for cake, but helping one friend leads to another until the whole woodland crew is together having the best day ever. Kids will giggle at the silly situation of animals helping animals, feel warm inside when friends keep joining in, and cheer for the happy ending where everyone shares cake together. If your kid loves sweet picture books about animal friends like "Corduroy," they'll immediately fall for this heartwarming tale. Perfect for ages 4 to 7 in preschool through second grade.
