A young cake with ZERO manners spends the first half of the book ignoring its parents, pushing other baked goods out of the way, and generally being in no way shape or form sweet. Then it is taken from its bed by a cyclops who thinks it's a hat. Cyclopses ae extremely polite, and have difficulty even hearing the cake when it says rude things. The cake will have to learn to speak politely, or it might remain a hat forever!
I loved this book for its silliness. I was checking out Amazon reviews, and some reviewers found it too "weird," but one person's weirdness is another person's silliness, sooo... I guess it sort of depends on your point of view. Some of the reviewers thought it was inappropriate for toddlers. I don't know either way on that one. The kids I was reading this to were a small class of second graders, over the summer (I worked summer school), and it was perfect for that particular group of kids.
