Cake Vs. Pie

PreS-Gr 2–All’s well in the shop as everyone—croissants, cupcakes, brownies, caramel apples, ice cream sandwiches, cookies, doughnuts, etc.—gets along well with one other. However, once Pie moves in, everything changes for Cake who up to this point has been “top tier.” The two are friends at first and Cake happily introduces Pie to everyone. Pie soaks up all the praise from her new acquaintances and it quickly goes to her head. She is soon convinced that “I am quite the dish” and a dejected Cake slinks away feeling as if she’s “been desserted.” The competition to be “flavor of the month” soon leads to a battle which involves all the sweets in the shop. Paper, ink, and digital combine in illustrations filled with detail, color, activity, and speech bubbles galore that burst with food puns and expressions. Due to the intricate details in the desserts and the ongoing conversations, this tale should be shared one-on-one so the pictures can be scrutinized.
