Beverly Billingsly Takes the Cake

32 pp. | Harcourt/Gulliver | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-15-205357-3 $16.00
(3) K-3 Beverly decides to bake a castle-shaped cake for her friend Oliver's birthday. Her dad helps her shop for ingredients, and her mom helps her prepare it. But when the cake is ruined (it sticks to the pan and must be cut free), Mrs. Billingsly encourages Beverly to improvise. Both the story and the bold-lined, pastel-colored illustrations are appealing.
