Who Made This Cake? By Chihiro Nakagawa, illustrated by Junji Koyose 2008
A crew of miniature construction workers begins building. The tools they use may seem familiar, such as a dump truck and a crane, but the material they are working with is curious. Sweet ingredients are deftly mixed together, and their creation is precariously placed in the oven. During the baking time, the crew rests and enjoys a snack, until the whipped cream is expertly applied. The teamwork and creativity involved in the process is inspiring.
Koyose’s black ink drawings, filled in with bright colors, are fantastic. Your child will smile with the young boy in the story as he receives his birthday cake, under the watchful eyes of the miniature bakers.
Appropriate for ages 3-6
