"A panda cake, a panda cake,Mama is making a panda cake.
Now a panda cake is a special cake,
It's not like any you've eaten,
It has apples and roots
And bamboo shoots
And clover honey for topping."
I told KC that her Uncle Jonny's favorite book used to be Panda Cake by Rosalie Seidler. She asked me to read it to her and then asked me to read it again. I heard her asking Art to read it again later.
I never could quite understand why Jon liked it so much. Was it because the older brother ends up in trouble and the little brother gets to have the panda cake? Was it because of the fun rhymes? Perhaps it's the cute pictures. I don't know.
What made it all the more fun for KC was the title page. There at the top, written clearly in pencil were the words Name Tiffany Room 107 Age 7 in her mother's 2nd grade handwriting.
