Horse and Zebra are best friends, but they couldn't be more different!

While Horse is steady and sensible, Zebra is zany and creative. But what they have in common is that they will always look out for each other, and they're always ready to help another animal in need. Horse and Zebra are ready to start their new business, making daily oatcake deliveries with their Cake Wagon. At first they have lots of buyers, but soon the other animals grow tired of Horse's traditional family recipe. Zebra tries her hoof at baking instead, but her cakes are a little too creative. Can Horse and Zebra figure out how to compromise to make their buyers happy?

A simple story with compromise baked in.

School Library Journal

K-Gr 2--Horse runs a farm stand where she sells her baked oatcakes. When she sells out at the farm stand, her friend Zebra suggests that they sell them in town next time. Zebra will even do the work pulling the cakes in their wagon. Once again they're very popular, but after a few weeks the customers are disappointed that there is no variety. Zebra is ready to try something new, but Horse says it's a family recipe that they can't change. Zebra creatively launches into the recipe, adding bananas and chocolate chips. But then she goes a bit too far and adds too many new ingredients, including eggplant and spinach. The friends finally compromise and add rainbow sprinkles, because one special ingredient is perfect. The cake wagon is back in business! Along with helpful illustrations on every other page, the words are one or two syllables in length, and the basic, predictable sentence structure will assist the earliest of readers. VERDICT A good general purchase to expand any beginning reader collection.--Linda Annable
