Pat-a-Cake
by Mary Brigid Barrett, illustrated by LeUyen Pham
Ages 2-5 16 pages Candlewick January 2014 Board book    

Picturing a number of multi-ethnic children, this board book plays off the old “pat-a-cake” clapping verse and game. You’ll view a number of children patting their food, a rainy-day puddle, fruit, vegetables, trees, a caterpillar and their parents.

As the book is read aloud, a young child will probably want to pat the illustrations on the pages a few times. Go to it—this is a very sturdy book!

Bold colors and large illustrations of the various children make this an attractive board book young children will love to look at—and, yes, pat or slap, too. Make it a game and show the child how to do the old patty-cake clap!
