I read this book to my year 2 class and they loved it! They all became immersed into the story and loved to look at the pictures. The book also has a rhyming scheme and I find that this is definitely something that the children enjoy as they like to read along with the story. After the story we all engaged in a conversation about what ingredients we would include to make our own rascally cake!
