An excellent easy reader: lots of repetition of the long a sound within a logical and funny story! The illustrations are something else, too. I’m going to have to read the whole series. Love it!

Save the Cake! By Molly Coxe. EARLY READER. KANE PRESS, 2019. $6. 9781635920987
BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Nate and Kate have baked a cake for Grandpa Jake, but when they try to deliver it to his party, they are surprised by a snake along the trail. Can they find another way?
While the photographs of Coxe’s tableaux are the star, there are plenty of fun “long a” words for early readers to play with and learn. Coxe is very clever with both words, using a nice variety, and her art. So much fun!

One word for this one: Lame
I understand what they're trying to do with the letter sounds but bottom line: kids deserve real engaging stories at every stage of the learning to read process. And parents deserve books that are not grating to read and have read to them repeatedly.
My three year old liked that there was a cake and a truck and a train so that's something.

Early reader focusing on long ‘A’ vowel sounds found in words like cake, snake, plane, train. Cute story, photo artwork.

The pictures in this are quite unsettling and feel more like nightmare fuel than a great story time pick.

Such a silly book. Had a lot of fun reading it! The wool felted creatures and props were awesome. The photography was superb.

Kate and Nate have quite the adventure as they make the perilous journey to deliver Grandpa Jake his birthday cake. First there's a snake! Then they miss the train! And we can't forget the sudden rain! You will have so much fun practicing your long A sound while reading this sweet and delicious book.

I was excited to read this new series of beginning readers, but several issues make me concerned. The photo illustrations are really creative, but they are too busy for developing readers —not enough blank space is left behind the words. The font is also not well suited to beginning readers. The text features long A sounds, but combines different letter patterns that might confuse beginning readers.
