The Cats and the Cake

Two cats. One cake. Who will get to enjoy the tasty dessert? A fun, simple story that kindergarteners and first graders can read on their own.

When a cake falls off a cart at the bakery, two cats claim it. A clever fox offers to help them share, but bit by bit eats the cake all up himself! With easy-to-read dialogue and cheerful art, The Cats and the Cake will have children laughing and reading at the same time.
