Albert Whitman continues to amaze and please me a a mother and teacher. I'm completely delighted with this reprinted series of Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and especially [b:Flicka, Ricka, Dicka Bake a Cake|16190502|Flicka, Ricka, Dicka Bake a Cake|Maj Lindman|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1355839455s/16190502.jpg|473027]. here the triplets want to do something for Mother's birthday and with the guidance of a family friend who has known Mother since she was a child they decide to bake her favorite cake.

The illustrations are adorable. The plot is cute and has a lesson of it's own. The text is simple enough for early readers in the storybooks stage and the learning and teaching possibilities are numerous. Reading this with my preschooler I was able to use the text and illustrations together to read short phrases (each illustration features a descriptive phrase), tell time on the clock, and use logic and description to distinguish which girl was which in each picture. It is just wonderful!
