Illustrated by
Ann James.
Using exuberant rhymes and punchy action verbs, a smiling, confident dinosaur describes the steps necessary to bake a cake, after which it's time to "mix, mix, / beat, beat, / make another cake!" If the art looks delicious, that's because chocolate icing, flour, and cocoa are among the media used to enhance the dynamic rainbow-colored sketches set on plain white backdrops.
