Cupcake by Charise Mericle Harper


Ages 4-8
This is a cute and sparkly book about a cupcake, named Vanilla, that feels left out. All of Vanilla's brothers and sisters have been picked (to be eaten. Thankfully, the death of the cupcake is never mentioned or discussed). Vanilla runs into a lonely candle and together they search for things to decorate Vanilla until they decide that the candle should hop on Vanilla's head and be the decorations!

This is was a very cute book, illistrated in pastels. I also liked how there was text to the book and then the dialoge between the cupcake and the candle were with the pictures, almost like a comic book. When the candle and Vanilla were trying out different decorations it was really funny. The last decoration they tried was a squirrell. That just cracked me up. There was a picture of a cupcake with a squirirll on top.

A very, cery cute cupcake.
