Toddler-PreS—This German import takes a simple premise and builds to a satisfying denouement. A "yummy" cake is left sitting high above on a windowsill, and along comes a hungry bear—if only Bear could reach. What follow are a gang of kindly determined animals who link together in the hopes of "taking the cake." Strasser's use of a single setting and muted colors outlined in black results in a cleanly designed and endearing story of collaboration.—Della Farrell, School Library Journal
