![]() ![]() Max wants to help but ends up spilling and breaking ingredients. As usual, Ruby, the bossy older sister, tells Max that instead of a mud pie, they are going to make a white cake with raspberries. In this story, Ruby and Max each want to make a special cake for her grandmother's birthday. I love Rosemary Wells' work, and Bunny Cakes is a great Max and Ruby story. She played Max and the grandmother, and I played Ruby and the shopkeeper. My co-worker and I did this story in Spanish. A co-worker and I performed a special bilingual story time in which we acted out all of the stories and used fun props. Since the Stanislaus County Library system was celebrating 100 years this year, the theme of this year's Día de los Ninos/Día de los Libros celebration was birthdays. And I like when he has to go back to the store and the grocer gets red hot marshmallow squirters for him. And I like when she bakes it and cools it. I like when Ruby says, "No, Max, we're going to make Grandma an angel surprise cake with raspberry fluff icing." I also like when Ruby tells Max that the kitchen is "no place for Max" because he keeps knocking over the ingredients. Update 2016: Now I can "read" this book all by myself.

Max's cake is made out of earthworms, and all he wants for it is some red hot marshmallow shooters. Max and Ruby are both making birthday cakes for their Grandma's birthday. This is my favorite out of the 4 books we got. We got some Max and Ruby books to prep for seeing a live Max and Ruby show at Sesame Place. Especially, since the younger ages are reading it would be more beneficial for them to understand the events taking place. ![]() However, I did not give the book five stars because I felt the author should have shown more of how Max made his own cake because it kind of confusing on how it happened. It shows how the older sibling is teaching the younger sibling to learn basic life skills such as baking and going to the store. The illustrations were also really colorful and would be easy to keep the young readers interested.I also really enjoyed how it shows how the relationship between brother and sister. Without the illustrations, the readers would be confused why Max could not get the grocer to understand that he wanted the Red-Hot Marshmallow Squirters. It showed why the grocer could not understand that Max wanted Red-Hot Marshmallow Squirters because the text never said that Max did not know how to write or draw. The illustrations really made sense of the story. So, his older sister, Ruby, sends him to the store with a list to replace the broken ingredients. The one bunny, Max, keeps knocking all the ingredients over.
