Helen Oxenbury is among the most popular and critically acclaimed illustrators working today. Her numerous books for children include the New York Times bestseller Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes, written by Mem Fox; Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (9781406316230); Smarties Book Prize-winning Farmer Duck (9780744536607) by Martin Waddell; We're Going on a Bear Hunt (9780744523232) by Michael Rosen; as well as her classic board books for babies. She lives in London.
PreSchool-K-Wanting to make a birthday cake, a youngster asks various animals to provide the ingredients, and they do. A chicken supplies the eggs; a bear, the flour; a cat, the butter and milk; a pig, the salt; a dog, the sugar; and a monkey, cherries for the top. The creatures then help the child make the cake, and help eat it, too. This is a wonderfully simple story. The soft watercolor illustrations are warm and gently humorous, particularly the depictions of the endearing animals, who stand on two legs and are just as childlike as their human friend. The preschooler's gender is nonspecific, which gives all children the opportunity to identify with the main character. A charming addition to preschool story times.
