Froggy Bakes a Cake

This book is about a frog, named Froggy, that wants to set up his mother's birthday party and make the cake all by himself. His father reminds him of stuff that needs to go into the cake, and Froggy pulls the ingredients out and puts them in the cake batter in extreme amounts. There are a couple of themes that come to mind after I read this story. The themes in this book are that it is important to try your best and if it doesn't work out just shrug it off and move on. Even though he made a mess, his parents weren't mad at him because he was trying his best and his heart was in the right place. Froggy had a good time trying to make his mom's birthday special and they ended up going to the bakery because the party didn't work out.

read aloud- (doesn't have a type?)

In this Froggy book, it is his moms birthday. He wants to make her cake all by himself. He made and absolute mess in the kitchen and put a ton of some ingredients in the bowl. When he baked it the cake ended up exploding. He made his mom a mud pie outside and put a candle in it. She loved it. They played leapfrog to the bakery to get a cake.

I picked this book because I think Froggy books are great read aloud books. This book showed independence and problem solving skills. I think kids would relate to this book because I think everyone has plans that don't always go their way. Also, the pictures were cute in this book

Froggy wants to bake his mother a cake for her birthday but winds up making a big mess. Regardless, his mother is appreciative of the kind gesture. The illustrations in this story are so colorful and fun. I think this could be a great read-aloud book for younger students. It uses literary elements such as rhyme and onomatopoeia, which I think will make students want to read along.

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 show more 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. show less

The Froggy books are definitely some of my favorites and this one makes it in my top three. Froggy is in charge of making the cake for his mother's birthday so what could possibly go wrong? Such a cute story and a favorite among young students.

This book is about Froggy, baking a cake for his mom's birthday. Although he makes a big mess and the cake doesn't turn out, his mom still loves him. A great book for preschool.

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.
