K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Margie Moore.
When Ruby Raccoon asks her friends how to bake a cake, each animal suggests a favorite ingredient, including snails and worms. Ruby takes all their suggestions, with unfortunate results. Nevertheless, her true-blue friends all find something to compliment--such as the cake's shape, color, and juiciness. Ruby's unappetizing creation is amusing, and the soft, amiable illustrations add to the friendly mood.
