Spot Bakes a Cake Novelty Book – Lift the flap, May 5, 2005

One of my daughter’s favorite books! Love the story! She always wants to sing “Happy birthday” at the end and learned to sing the song before she was 2. May also inspire your child to get excited about (helping to) cooking/baking.

The story is fine. Spot and Sally go shopping, bake a cake, clean up, and celebrate. It’s not board book material so it doesn’t stay open easily which is frustrating for my son. It’s not paperback, it’s not board book, it’s somewhere in between.

My 2 year old LOVES this book and all the other Spot flap books

My almost-2 year old LOVES the Spot series, and for whatever reason, "Cake" has been his favorite book since I gave it to him over a month ago. He loves finding the mouse in every scene, and pointing out all the ingredients Spot and the mouse use to make the cake. It has also helped him grasp the concept of blowing out birthday candles, which is good because his birthday is coming up soon! He points to the candles, says something that resembles "candles," then says, "hot," and blows on the book. Pretty cute.

Spot Bakes a Cake is one of my grandson's favorite flip up books. However, I bought the board book which is tiny! I do not feel that it/they would hold up well in a toddlers hands, or even after opening the pop ups myself over time. I purchased two other Spot Books and returned all three. For the price, and very small size of the book, I would not recommend. Very disappointing!

My son loves this book.

I love all these spot books but it doesn't make sense that he's making his dad a chocolate cake when chocolate can kill dogs... I feel like that could cause a problem if a toddler thinks it's okay to feed their dog chocolate...? But it is a cute book..

The original lift the flap Spot book "Where's Spot" is infinitely better. The quality of this book is inferior, my little one has only read it a few times and the flaps are so damaged and one ripped off altogether, in comparison to the Where's Spot one where she's read it 100 times ( unsupervised as well) and it's all still intact and far more solid. She found this one boring too, no element of surprise on any page and every scene is busy and looks the same so not engaging enough for a younger reader. Spot goes to the farm is much better for example.

Purchased a selection of these for my 22 month old son and he cannot get enough of them, every night we have to read 3 or 4 of them. The flaps make the books a little more interactive for him and I think that's what he loves the most. Looks like more of these are going to be needed in the near future. Highly recommended for any toddlers taking an interest in books

This is arguably the best of the Spot books. None of them are incredibly entertaining for an adult, but if I'm reading it to my daughter, it's the most fun. It also stimulates kids' interest in baking, leading to interesting discussions and making our own cakes 'just like Spot'. It's also pretty funny for a small child and the pictures are lovely.

Great board book in typical Spot fashion, bright colours simply illustrations and fun story. My 5 year old has enjoyed reading these himself (mostly) and lift the flap always adds to the fun.Thick board pages with paper flaps, good for little hands to hold without the book flopping around.In this book it is Sam's (Dad's) birthday.

Disappointing not really to do with baking a cake, shopping, messy mixing, clear up, “decorate” serve to daddy for his birthday. one page for each. Ok if you want some sort of a story but useless if you want a basis to show a child about how to make a cake.
