A birthday order for three small bakers

Ginger, Tom, and Piper run the Mouse and Spoon Bakery, where an elephant’s request for more than 100 pound cakes—and banana bread for her monkey friends—turns an ordinary baking job into a sizeable challenge. The bakery setting and the contrast between the mice’s small scale and the elephant’s enormous order give the story its central problem. As a Level 2 Ready-to-Read title, it is presented for developing readers, with a straightforward premise built around teamwork and completing a demanding task.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers building confidence with early-reader books
  • Children who enjoy animal characters and bakery stories
  • Beginning readers interested in a manageable story about teamwork
