Cake Girl — David Lucas

In this bedazzling picture book for all seasons, a Witch is once again alone on her birthday. So she uses her powers to bake a Cake Girl to act as her servant for the day. She tells Cake Girl to sing and dance -- and do all the housework! “And then,” says the Witch, “I'll eat you.” But Cake Girl proves to be too clever a confection for such a fate, and she soon turns the tables on her maker, with happy results for them both.

Cheery and cheeky themes abound in this deliciously illustrated story about the magic of laughter and play and new companions.
