Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake

Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake

By Michael B. Kaplan

Illustrated by Stephane Jorisch

Betty Bunny is proud to be a handful. (She doesn't know what that means.) She thinks she doesn't like chocolate cake until she tries it. When she does try it however, she decides she wants to marry chocolate cake when she grows up. After her first taste of chocolate cake, Betty Bunny decides that chocolate cake is all she wants and she does not want to wait for it. She tries to make chocolate cake out of mud. She won't eat her dinner. She even throws mashed potatoes at her brother. Her mommy wants her to be patient, but it takes a gooey chocolate cake mess in her pocket to help Betty Bunny learn what patience means!

I laughed out loud while reading this book. I was sitting at the circulation desk at our library, and I still laughed out loud. This book offers a fun way to learn about patience (and it might make you hungry to eat chocolate cake). I think this book would work well as a read-aloud for a group or for a single child.
