From the New York Times bestselling artist of Just Try One Bite and I Don’t Want to Be a Frog comes a picture book series about childhood firsts, featuring two melons with hilariously—and helpfully—opposite worldviews. Pull on your apron as they learn how to bake a cake.

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 this, new things are can-do.
