Blaze and the Castle Cake for Bertha Daye

Blaze and the Castle Cake for Bertha Daye follows a flock of golden "chicklets" who have just ten days to build a larger-than-life, edible castle cake for their best friend's birthday, gathering chocolate from mines and flour finer than fairy dust along the way. Claude Ponti's oversized, endlessly detailed illustrations reward readers who linger on every page. This is a delightfully imaginative choice for students because its playful wordplay and sprawling visual world invite the same page back for repeat read-alouds.
