This book goes off of the original children's rhyme Pat-a-cake pat-a-cake. Telling kids if they can pat-a-cake they can pat other foods as well. I read this to my 2-year-olds at work and it had them a bit lost. The book is lacking a nice rhythm that they could follow, and it was a bit unrealistic even though that's not really important at their age. ( )

I love the illustrations in this book. The children are happy and playful. ( )
