Eight animals - ocho animales- get together to whip up a cake. Everyone brings an important ingredient to add to the batter, and soon they will have a wonderful treat to share. But when the timer dings and EVERYONE wants to take the cake out of the oven - horno- they end up dropping the whole thing all over the floor. What a mess! With some creative thinking from Cow - Vaca- and a little dinero, too, the surprise at the end is worth the wait. Perfect for non-Spanish speakers as well as Spanish speakers learning English, this is a delightful book about cooking, eating, and the love of good friends.
