Cake for Breakfast Every Day is an imaginative story, with colorful illustrations, in an easy-to-read format. It's designed for parents, grandparents or caregivers to share with a child they love, and to encourage that special experience of reading together. Of course, children will want to read it on their own, too.
The story is, centered on a child imagining all the things she could do without an adult setting the rules. Though she imagines a trampoline in her bedroom, eating cake for breakfast, skateboarding through the house, and never having to take a bath, the child realizes that, in the end, having someone to love her is much better than being on her own.
Much more than just a book, Cake for Breakfast Every Day is feel-good fun for the entire family. Parents can take the story off the pages and make it interactive by encouraging their children to use their own imaginations as they follow along. What would your child do if there were no rules in their house? Would a thunderstorm be scary? Can they find the mouse hidden in three of the illustrations? What pets would they have? Parents can play along too, sharing all the things they would do without rules. Educators can also use the story in a classroom setting. After reading the story, students can come up with their own "no-rules" scenario and put it down on paper, either as art or in a paragraph.
