Your best bets for chocolate cake themed books
How often do National Chocolate Cake Day and Family Literacy Day coincide? Not too often, we would guess. What better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than getting together with some loved ones after dinner, digging into a nice slice of chocolate cake and reading a book together? There just simply is no better way. And if you don’t have carpets or light-coloured furniture to worry about, we suggest that this activity is best when done on the floor in some sort of makeshift reading nook, or piled into a big, comfy chair.
Without further ado, your chocolate cake book selections:
1. Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake by Michael Kaplan (2011)
Perfect for Betty Bunnies of all ages.
2. A Baby Sister for Frances by Russell Hoban
We like any book that tells us that there will always be enough chocolate cake.
3. Small Knight and George and the Royal Chocolate Cake by Rhonda Armitage (2009)
Small Knight and George the Dragon are off to rescue the world’s largest chocolate cake! Now that sounds like a worthwhile quest!
4. The Bake Shop Ghost by Jacqueline K. Ogburn (2008)
Miss Cora Lee Merriweather used to make the best cake in town, until she dies and decides to haunt anyone who takes over her bake shop. But when Annie Washington comes to town, she isn’t so easily scared away by the ghost of Miss Cora Lee.
5. Matilda by Roald Dahl (1988)
Matilda‘s not strictly about cake or even desserts, but all we’re going to say is, “Bruce! Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!”
Mmm… chocolate cake and a family read, sounds like a great recipe for a perfect Friday night.
