Booklist Review of Snake Cake
What do you get when you mix a green tree python with a red velvet layer cake? A recipe for some silly rhymes. This entry in the Read and Rhyme: Level 2 series (8 titles) takes on the –ake word family by crafting a short narrative about Jake, who bakes a cake that gets eaten by his pet snake. Beginning readers can really cut their teeth on this story, which prints one simple sentence per double-page spread, with the –ake word always appearing in bold. The photo illustrations boast bright, cheerful scenes of Jake moving about his day, and the images always directly support the text. Appended teaching tips for before, during, and after reading are designed to foster early literacy skills, making this an entertaining and educational choice. — Julia Smith
