"C" Is for Cupcake
by Carolyn HaywoodThe first grade taught by Mrs. Wilkins in this book is an exciting place. Mrs. Wilkins is a teacher who is game for any activity that her pupils suggest, and Carolyn Haywood is just the writer to make sure that she never remains unchallenged for long. Most of the escapades concern Christie's pet rabbit named Cupcake, but further complications abound. Christie first takes Cupcake to school when the rest of the class is bringing baked goods to sell on Cupcake Day. Despite the confusion, the white rabbit quickly becomes the unofficial mascot of the room. Other animals also enter Mrs. Wilkins's life. At various times she must cope with a Siamese cat on the rampage and a Belgian rabbit named Cinnamon Bun. The climax comes, however, when baby rabbits arrive during breakfast at which the first graders are entertaining their daddies. First grade today is made for the irrepressible children created by Carolyn Haywood. Warm and funny, her story of their year's doings captures the spirit of the modern school.
