From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—In this amusing and downright bizarre tale, readers learn about cakes whose dispositions aren't nearly as sweet as their flavoring. One bratty confection, who never waits his turn and refuses to obey his parents, finally gets his comeuppance when a cyclops reaches into his bedroom window one night and eagerly scoops him up. Slyly subverting expectations, the author explains that cyclops don't eat cakes—they enjoy wearing them as hats. But cyclops are far more considerate, and the one-eyed creature quickly returns the dessert to his home, resulting in a kinder, gentler cake. Children learning to say, "Please" and "Thank you" will delight in the over-the-top rude behavior here, such as the cake exploding with anger at a tiny marshmallow and chocolate muffin. The use of dynamic, large fonts for emphasis, hilarious dialogue conveyed through speech bubbles, and the exaggerated expressions and responses of characters add further to the zany flavor of this story. Digitally created, with pencil and ink, the cartoonlike illustrations match the tone of the text, quirk for quirk. The strange creations depicted here have an adorably grotesque feel: the cakes are multilayered concoctions perched precariously on tiny peglike legs, while the monsters are toothy, big-eyed, hairy ovals. Watkins has whipped up a truly surreal story, crammed with hilarious details and gently laced with an important lesson; pair this one with Steve Antony's Please Mr. Panda (Scholastic, 2015) for a fun primer on manners. VERDICT This entertaining offering will make for a riotous storytime.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal

My three year old has been on a tear about bedtime stories and why they must be read on the ipad -- So I've made a lot of children book purchases for the Kindle app here on Amazon recently -- this is one of those books that makes me feel a little weird about whether I'm getting fair reviews of a book on Amazon, it had a lot of 5 stars and I can't possibly give this book 5 stars, that would place it on the level with the greatest children's books of all times... and this isn't that kind of book -- but in the end, this isn't about me, this is about the toddler and whether or not she likes the book.But more about me.. and my needs....First, this book has a message to deliver -- I think that's clear by the title, but let me just summarize it the way I read it -- our story follows a rude baked good... a cake to be exact, the cake is rude to other baked goods and his/her/its parents... hence rude cake... fine-- bad cake, bad. Soooo, at some point, after bedtime for the baked good in question, he/ she/ it is abducted by a very pleasant cyclops -- and taken somewhere where the rude cake is shown off to the cyclop's friends, many pleasantries are exchanged regarding the rude cake, who they think is a hat. After some protest, from rude cake, the cyclops realizes they were wrong for abducting rude cake and pleasantly returns rude cake to his/her/its bed.Hmmmmmmmmmm?????? I get it... no wait ....I don't. The main message is clear, I get that -- how the author came up or even connected these strange characters to one another, I don't get it -- because THAT doesn't make ANY sense -- if my summary sounds crazy well ...there ya go-- Just my opinion, I'm 40 years old --BUT my three year old LOOOVVVVEEEEESSSSS this book.... say what? So I can't write it off as a waste of money, I didn't like it... I cringe when she points to it every night because it's so weird -- but the truth is the toddler loves it and in the end that's all that counts, I have no idea what's going on in that three year old mind that makes this book even decent, but LOVE??? -- Soooo, three stars from me-- 5 stars from my toddler -- that said, it's my Amazon account, so three stars it is... she can write her own review.

A sweet look at manners By J.Prather *This book received from the publisher at no charge in exchange for a fair and honest review.Never has a lesson in manners been presented with such whimsy and charm. Rude Cakes features a truly annoying pink cake who doesn't listen, doesn't say please, refuses to take turns, and has no interest in sharing. He bullies a small cupcake and a sweet little marshmallow at the playground and gives his parents all sorts of trouble. It's what happens next that elevates this little gem to the status of a must read for all young kids. It's when this little rude cake meets a giant cyclops with impeccable manners that he learns the value of being polite.The illustrations are unique and whimsical, with plenty of cute little details that will certainly mean lots of requests for re-reads. Mr. Rude Cake is sinister and pink, a hilarious combination. The little marshmallow and the chocolate cupcake that are the frequent victims of Mr. Rude's bad behavior are too cute for words. And those Cyclopses! One of my favorite spreads shows a line of multi colored cyclops talking to each other about the cake they think is actually a dancing hat. Priceless!The final two page spread shows readers that "Of course, no cake is ever too rude to change," a feel good ending for an entertaining, well written, and useful story that should find a home in every preschool classroom or any toddler or preschooler's personal library. Witty and fun, Rude Cakes is an enthusiastic and polite recommend.

Most original picture book of the year so far By cavanaugh This is the most original new children's picture book I've come across in years (and I read a lot of children's picture books as an elementary-school librarian & reading specialist.) The drawings are lively, bright and handmade-feeling, the story and characters are hilarious, and the "message" (about politeness and learning to respect others) is so woven into the story it never feels didactic or scolding. Every kid I've read this to so far to has reacted to the mid-book twist (which I won't spoil here!) with wide-eyed suspense followed by laughter.
