Today is Grandma's birthday,
and Granddad has an ichin',
to bake a WHOPPER
chocolate cake
and traumatize the kitchen!
Join the madcap frenzy of making the biggest cake in the world! And the biggest...mess!
Reviews
Opening with birthday balloons and splattered chocolate batter, Hillenbrand combines candy-colored egg tempera paintings with sepia-toned line drawings in jaunty double-page spreads. Judiciously sprinkled with patterns, the compositions are full but never busy. —Kirkus Reviews
Rendered in ink and egg tempera, Hillenbrand's illustrations spill off the spreads… Full-bodied figures decked out in '70s paisleys and prints, a flower-powered VW driven by the matriarch, and high-energy compositions make this a surefire crowd pleaser.—School Library Journal
