| Clever Jack Takes the Cake |
A hard, deep, demanding knock on the library door startled 3rd and 4th grade students today in the library and revealed a tasty sampling of cake behind the closed door. Who could have left such a sweet, succulent treat? A well-worn piece of paper accompanying the cake revealed that it had been Clever Jack who had delivered morsels of decadent goodness. Yummy! Yum! Yum!
Clever Jack takes the cake by Candace Fleming is a wonderful read-aloud for 3rd and 4th grade students. The illustrations are incredibly charming and readers are left with such empathy and respect for Jack at the lengths he goes to deliver a birthday cake to the princess. LOVED IT!

The delivery of the cake was a fun way to extend the meaning of the book, but took a little thought into when the infamous knocks would take place at the door. They couldn't be too early and they couldn't be too late. It was so much fun to watch their reaction to the knock at the door AND the cake.
