Illustrated by
Polly Dunbar.
With great enthusiasm, Pat-a-Cake Baby enlists help in creating a late-night "spiffy special cake." Ingredients are added, then the cake is baked, patted (of course), and decorated before, finally, "IT'S EATING TIME!" The rollicking rhythms and silly words on each page would make a bouncy read-aloud; the similarly active illustrations feature amusing details, like the increasingly hungry moon in the background.
