Great book to use to get students thinking about all of the things that go into making something. Talks about all the work that went into backing a cake that mack ate. Mack is a troublesome dog. Could be used to teach sequencing.

This is a fun book that details how a cake came to be baked and then eaten. The steps are cumulative, so the narrative is repetitive and simple enough for beginning readers. It's a good book to read aloud.

The illustrations! I love Mack at the end, looking sad and guilty.

Ella liked this book because it was about a dog named Mack. I liked it because it showed the cycle of how the egg was laid by the hen, who ate the corn, the corn seed that was planted by the farmer, who married the woman, who baked the cake that Mack ate. Naughty dog!
