How sweet reading is. <br /><br />My mother used to make shaped cakes for my birthday, and the first one she ever did (and one of my favourites) was a cupcake caterpillar! It was different-- I only discovered that book in time for friends' kids-- but thanks for the memory.<br /><br />And a couple of friends and I give books for baby showers now: what better gift could there be, other than reading? (OK, reading + cake!!). The first time I did that, I sewed big stuffed fish out of cuddly polar fleece, and gave One Fish/Two Fish because it matched the colours. Awwwww.... <br /><br />PS I'm glad my taste in music doesn't have illiterate twits. Rock singers have other issues (!) but at least I haven't heard any of the dis reading.Alizanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-45131343726061265702009-12-01T17:11:42.094-05:002009-12-01T17:11:42.094-05:00what i love is some of the comments saying that fo...what i love is some of the comments saying that for the ones who have their kid in their lap as they lok at these can name them. i hop that makes sesne.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-29518864200942548942009-10-15T08:56:21.950-04:002009-10-15T08:56:21.950-04:00THAT POKY PUPPY DESERVES TO BE EATEN!

It was one of mine too. I'm always amazed that I wasn't exposed to all the books considered children's classics. I wasn't really deprived or anything - just lived in a very small town / rural area with only the library books in each elementary classroom plus a bookmobile from 20 miles away. I've always been a reader but the only book titles I can remember from childhood were Golden Books: Pokey Little Puppy - Saggy Baggy Elephant - & Shy Little Kitten.Nancy-B-T-MAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-17725678193424006502009-06-05T11:44:34.401-04:002009-06-05T11:44:34.401-04:00I first saw the Dr Seuss fish cake on here - I thi...I first saw the Dr Seuss fish cake on here - I think this is the baker http://diullbar22.deviantart.com/art/Dr-Seuss-book-cake-113374036 <br /><br />Sophie H.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697904261111889527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-40760253686248959672009-06-05T07:14:16.352-04:002009-06-05T07:14:16.352-04:00Oh hey, Night Kitchen is right near me!

If you're baking and you need more inspiration for your next cake, take a look at my booklist of classics on author James Patterson's spectacular website, www.ReadKiddoRead.com. When you get to the home page, click on COMMUNITY and then LISTS, and you'll find it. James Patterson, unlike Kanye, is a published author who LOVES to read and has started a website for parents, teachers, librarians, and kids. There are already 200+ extensive reviews of un-put-downable kids' books on the site, plus annotated booklists, interviews with famous children's book authors, and way more.
