A Piece of Cake (by Leuyen Pham)

3/4 = Liked It

Little Fox says, "I liked this book because I liked the ending."

Momma: Mouse was so kind.  Mouse made Little Bird a birthday cake but he gave it all away before Little Bird ever got to see it!
Fox: Yeah.  But then he made an even better one with bird.  One with even more stuff.
Momma: That's right.  Where did he get all the ingredients for the second cake?
Fox: They traded with all the other animals.
Momma: Mouse was so kind and Little Bird was so clever.  They are very good friends.
Fox: And they made the best cake ever!
Momma: Would you mind if a friend made you a cake for your birthday and then gave it all away so there was none left for you?
Fox: No!
Momma: How about if a friend made you a cake but it was big enough to be shared with all your other friends?  Would you like to share with your friends?
Fox:  If it was big enough and I would get some, too?  Yes.  I would share!

The Midnight Library (by Kazuno Kohara)

4/5 = Really Liked It

Little Fox says, "I liked the owls that were the assistants.  I like the tortoise. I like A LOT of stuff about it."

Fox: Was the owls your favorite?
Momma: I liked the owls but the little librarian was my favorite.  She was very helpful.
Fox: I meant which animal is your favorite?
Momma: I liked the tortoise because he didn't want to leave until he was done reading.
Fox: My favorite was the wolf...or the fox.  I pick two: the wolf and the fox.
Momma: How is the Midnight Library different than the libraries we go to?
Fox: Because it was only open at night.
Momma: What else is different?  Do animals go to our libraries?
Fox: No.  Animals were the only ones allowed in the Midnight Library.
