Cantaloupe wants some cake. HoneyDo does too—they just need to bake it! But they can’t bake a cake, Cantaloupe says,because they have never baked one before. Never fear—HoneyDo has the recipe, and all the ingredients. They’ll just follow the steps, right? Piece of cake!

Meet Cantaloupe and HoneyDo. Cantaloupe brings the caution and HoneyDo the confidence. Together, they’re learning what they can’t do, at least not at first, and what they totally can—with a little practice, a little care, and two smart melons. With friends like these, new things are can-do.

Praise for Can Do Books:

“Rapid repartee in dialogue balloons drives the cheery shtick [in this story] about the fun of working together. A lip-smacking recipe for productive collaboration.” Kirkus (Cantaloupe and Bake a Cake)

“I never thought I’d want to be friends with fruit, but Mike Boldt has changed my mind. These stories are relatable, fun, and full of kid energy. I can’t wait to see what they do next!” —Ryan T. Higgins, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Mother Bruce series

“Mike Boldt has crafted an amazingly fun and entertaining world, featuring two of the most charismatic characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I cannot wait for more Can Do.” —Dan Santat, award-wining author and illustrator of Beekle and A First Time for Everything

"[This duo] will have readers contorted in laughter [as they explore] growth mindset, the value of making mistakes, practice, and persevering through challenges with good humor. . . . Boldt has hit comic paydirt with this hilarious read-aloud . . . Teachers and librarians will enjoy sharing this one with students, and students will enjoy sharing it with anyone with a sense of humor." School Library Journal (Cantaloupe and HoneyDo Ride a Bike)
