2012 Bluebonnet Book
(K-2) Jack has been invited to the princess' birthday party, but he is too poor and has nothing to give her as a gift. He sells some of his belongings and purchases items to bake her a cake. Along the way to the castle,with cake in hand for the party, Jack encounters many obstacles and by the time he reaches the castle, the cake is gone. What will Jack present to the princess on her birthday? I love the adventures Jack encounters on his way to the castle: an ogre, blackbirds, a bear, and a dark forest. Fleming is creative and created a story that kiddos will love and the ending makes it all the better. The colors and tones of the illustrations make this book even more beautiful. Definitely a book that needs to be added to any collection. I just love how smart this book is!!
