Clever Jack Takes the Cake

Clever Jack Takes the Cake

Take a bite out of this deliciously funny original fairy tale, which received four starred reviews and was named a Best Book of the Year by <i>Booklist</i>, <i>School Library Journal</i>, <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, and the Bank Street College of Education. <br /><br />What would you do if you were invited to the princess’s tenth birthday party but didn’t have money for a gift? Well, clever Jack decides to bake the princess a cake.<br /><br />Now he just has to get it to the castle in one piece. What could <i>possibly</i> go wrong?<br /><br />Candace Fleming and G. Brian Karas, creators of the bestselling picture book <i>Muncha! Muncha!</i> <i>Muncha!,</i> have teamed up again to bring us a modern fairy tale starring a determined boy and a story-loving princess with a good sense of humor. While girls will fall for a story featuring a princess’s birthday party, Jack’s adventures with trolls, bears, and gypsies make this the perfect read for young boys as well—and ideal for storytime.<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
