Froggy Bakes a Cake

Written by Jonathan London

Narrated by John McDonough

Jonathan London serves up another winner in the widely adored Froggy series. What should Froggy do for his mother's birthday? He could make a cake! Of course whenever Froggy does anything it never turns out exactly as he expects. Froggy mixes up the flour, the sugar, the chocolate candy his mother had hidden since Halloween, and a whole box of baking powder-what could possibly go wrong? John McDonough cheerfully and exuberantly narrates this tale of mishaps and family fun.

Reviews for Froggy Bakes a Cake

[sdeshotel-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Froggy is trying to bake a cake for his mom in this story, but ends up just making a huge mess. This story teaches kids that it's ok to ask for help. I would read this story to children ages 3-12, because I think they would enjoy it. The illustrations are nice and easy for young readers to look at.

Back Cover: It is Froggy’s mother’s birthday, and Froggy wants to make her a cake all by himself! In the kitchen, Froggy finds out that baking a cake is a little harder – and messier! – than he thought. But with a pinch of imagination and an extra dash of silliness, Froggy will serve up a homemade birthday cake his mother will never forget!
Mine: My nephews know I love all books that have to do with frogs, so they bought me a set of several of the “Froggy” series for Christmas. I started with this one, since my birthday is coming up.
What a wonderful story of not following a recipe and having an exploding cake. I’m one of those that cook by the book, so this was a story about my worst fears of not following the recipe.
