Soon it will be Mother's birthday, and Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka can't think of what to give their Mother. Aunt Betty shows them how to bake a cake by themselves. All is fine until the girls put the... This description may be from another edition of this product.
A classic children's book that has truly stood the test of time. I loved this book 50 years ago as I shared the adventure of three little girls baking a birthday cake for their Mom. The prose is clear and simple and poetic with the rhyming names. The detailed, colorful illustrations capture the interest of readers and non-readers alike. I am delighted that it has been reprinted (and the whole series) so that I can read it to my granddaughters.

Once the cake is made and decorated, the girls and their father give the mother a memorable birthday.Another fine book by Maj Lindman and it teaches the importance of paying attention when doing a job. Each pair of pages has the story on one side and a painted illustration on the other. Read all of the Flicka Ricka Dicka books (and check out Snipp Snapp and Snurr).
Flicka, Ricka, Dicka Bake a Cake
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A simple story about a simple activity (baking a birthday cake for mother) that my children and their friends have enjoyed for several years. They repeatedly ask for me to read this book. The underlying messages in all the Flicka, Ricka and Dicka books (as well as the Snipp, Snapp, Snurr stories) encourage kindness to others and responsiblity. Not inspiring literature but a great book about somthing young children are interested in.
excellent!
