Illustrated by
Paul Meisel.
A pig gleefully bakes a cake just for himself while chanting instructions: "One, two, get out the moo. / Three, four, open and pour." He must shift gears when his friends appear just in time to eat. Simple paintings set in a pale yellow background focus on the pig's actions. The endpapers include the rather complex cake recipe and visual comparisons of measurements.
