Who Made This Cake? Hardcover – September 1, 2008

I cannot praise enough this book. I read it to my daughter when she was 2-3 years old and then we passed it to my nephew. Both loved cars AND have a good imagination, the type of kids who love make believe types games and stories. I am not sure if the book appeals to more down to Earth, realistic toddlers, but you can try. There is not much text, but you can invent your own stories based on the very detailed illustration and involve a child in a story making process. This book will teach your toddler about different construction vehicles and machinery and on top of this will give food to his/her imagination and creativity. I loved different tiny people on each page doing different things, it's a lot of fun to look for them and find out what they are doing ( some of them are not doing what they are supposed to do).

My toddler is a diehard trucks, trains, cars kid.This seemed to be a good “gateway” book to something else (baking). Well, it didn’t work.But he loves it, and for that, it’s worth it.He likes naming the different construction machines (mixer, bulldozer, crane, pumping truck, loader, etc.) He also likes “reading” the sound effects which are written in big letters across some of the pages. He tells me which letters he sees and we sound out the noises together (“BRRRRRRR...” “CRRRRRRACK,” etc.)It’s an adorable, imaginative story with so many opportunities to learn and share with your kiddo. I particularly enjoy looking at every one of the little workers who are drawn simply but individually on each page—almost as if they have their own little story.I have never seen this book anywhere so it’ll be a hit at show and tell some day, I’m sure!

My 3 year old son is REALLY into tractors right now and REALLY into cake. So I saw this on Amazon and thought this would be a perfect birthday gift for his 3 year birthday party (as it was construction themed). He loves the book, it's about a bunch of tractors/trucks mixing and baking a cake. The illustrations are fun, but the book is sorely lacking on words. Some nights, though, that's a good thing if I don't feel like reading a long book to him before bed.One neat little thing about the book is that just about every page, there is a little guy who has fallen down on the ground. It's kind of like a "Where's Waldo" game. We find the "oopsy" guy who fell down. We still can't find him on one page, but we'll keep looking!

My three, five and six year olds all love this book. It's such a charming and magical premise. They love looking a the pictures!

My 3 year old loves this book. This is a great book for kids who love construction vehicles. The pictures have lots to look at and fill young imaginative minds.

Let me say that the art in this book is fantastic. I had originally picked this book up at the library and my almost 5 year old son LOVED IT. we had tokeep the book checked out for a month.THis book is a real boy's book, one where a little boy can get lost in the fantasy of the images. There are not a lot of wrds. Basically its an imaginary world where this little little people, may be an 1" high make a cake for us regular sized folks. So they use minature equipment to handle life sized eggs butter and equipment.My son just loves to look at this book with me and sometimes I'llread the words, add my own story, or we'll discuss it or he'll tell me. I love this book. Great for your boy

This book was purchased to use as a guest registry for a retirement open house for friends who have sold their very successful custom cake business after 52 years. They were absolutely delighted; those who have helped with their cake business were too, adding their own custom lines to the story lines! The little people in "Who Made This Cake?" went to extraordinary measures to create a cake for the little boy, much like our friends have done for their customers. It is a beautifully simple book, with great illustrations. It would be perfect for a child, but was also perfect for this special occasion!

This book is too adorable and a perfect gift for the little construction lover in your life. My 3 year old loved it. Illustrations are too cute!

The 3 years old boy loves it! As for me, I feel like it's missing a few words... I prefer the French one: Il faut sauve le petit chat.
