Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake

Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake, written by Michael B. Kaplan, illustrated by Stephane Jorisch.

Betty Bunny is a handful, according to her mom and dad, and always hates something without trying it, even when offered chocolate cake for dessert one night.

"I hate chocolate cake.  Chocolate cake is yucky.  What's chocolate cake?"

And so begins Betty's love of chocolate cake, to the point where she says," When I grow up, I am going to marry chocolate cake!" to which her brother replies, " Whatever.  But you're going to have really weird-looking kids."

Betty learns about trying to control her feelings and her actions, as well as finding a little patience, as she struggles with wanting cake all the time.  This book would be a good read-aloud for kindergarten or first graders who find waiting a hard thing to do, maybe even a few adults might benefit from a reading or two.
