Clever Jack Takes the Cake by Candace Fleming
A poor boy named Jack struggles to deliver a birthday present worthy of the princess.
this story is good and its kind of about how this poor kid get invited to the princesses party and so he trades his own stuff to make her a cake and there are a few problems on the way there!
It is a great book. i liked how Jack tried his best to give the princess a gift wicth is a cake but it got eaten by a bear. So explained what happened yhe princess thoght the gift was the story and she liked it.
I liked this book because jack was so creative and made a cake for the princess practicly out of nothing!I also liked how jack was so detirmend and never gave up ****
one day cleaver jacson got an invite to the princesess 10th birthday. but what wuold he bring? HE MADE the finest cake in all the land. then the most terible things happent then instead of a cake he gave the princess a story.
**** I thought the book was great because Clever Jack was finding stuff to make a cake for the princess.And Clever Jack had a big adventure to the castle.
When it said that he got the walnuts, I thought of when I was at church and i saw the pecan tree in the wooded area. my dad shook the tree really hard and we got about 30 pecans.
i love this book the book showes a little boy tried to do some thing nice for the prinnes and when he got to the tower he told her how the cack got eatin
I didnt really like this book but I think it is weird that the princess is like a diamond that is not new when one of us would be like a DIAMOND I cant believe it i give it ** stars.
***My favrite part is when he gaved up his stuff to get some indrgets and he came to the pay the next day to travel he had to give away stuff he had nothing left he told the ten year old princesss what happend and she loved the gift even though it was a story
The story Clever Jack was intresting because he had a advanture with a delisous cake but he had nothing left.Clever Jack did not know he did a very smart thing to the princess.I would give this book a good to me.
