5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for my Kindergartener!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019

My five year old Kindergartener enjoyed reading this to me. She loves baking with her daddy, just like Jo Jo in the story, so I just had to get her this book. According to her teacher, my daughter reads at Guided Reading Level D, and she was able to read this level F book to me with some minor pointers only.
It's a sweet book that talks about keeping a surprise, and doing things for others. The illustrations are fun as well. All in all, highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars The cake is for DAD.
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017

Spoiler, the cake that everybody helped out with is for DAD, specifically. It looks like maybe it's supposed to be a Father's Day story? Would have been great if it was for everybody, or some such, but that detail makes the story a little awkward for some folks.

Perfect for beginning readers. My daughter was bored with other books at this level and not quite ready for level 1. The Jojo series is perfect. Wish they made more!
