Title: Rude Cakes

Author: Rowboat Watkins

Genre:Fantasy – Rowboat Watkins

Summary- This book is about a pink cake that is really mean and very rude to other smaller pastries. He would say please or thank you and would push other pasties around and wouldn’t listen to his parents. Then one night a Cyclops picks him out of bed and decided to wear him as a hat. The rude cake doesn’t enjoy this very much. But turns out the Cyclopes are very nice and have manners and when the Cyclops hears his “hat” talking he lets the cake speak his mind and in the end he lets the cake go. When the cake gets back to his room the cake realizes that manner and being nice to other cakes really matters and he is never rude again.
Review: I thought that the book was quiet cute and so glad that I found a fantasy one. I didn’t know what to pick for this category because when I think of fantasy I think of comic books and there isn’t many comic books during this specific age range. But I went to library and found this little gem, I would recommend this mainly for kindergartens to teach them manners and such, The older grades I think would find it funny if you just wanted to read it for fun and not a educational purpose at least no in the older grades. Content Area: This could be used under the subject area of community when trying to establish friendship and relationships between others.
