Kids tend to, naturally, chip in with baking at home. However, just in case, they haven’t yet, this book will provide the impetus. It makes baking look easy. Well, why not? Harvey uses an electric mixer!

It’s Harvey’s birthday and he has a visitor. He, then, realizes that there’s nothing to offer his friend. So, the two of them bake a birthday cake and finish just in time for a quiet dinner party with other friends.  The author wraps up the book with Harvey's cake recipe.

Excerpt

The oven has a glass window, so Harvey and Chip can watch their cake rise as it bakes. It’s almost as much fun as watching TV! Harvey sets the timer, so they will know when the cake is ready.
