ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ????Kids Read Aloud | BETTY BUNNY LOVES CHOCOLATE CAKE by Michael Kaplan
Hello, friends! I’m Craig, and today we’re going to have a fun story time together. Are you ready? Let’s read a book called “Baby Buddy Loves Chocolate Cake” by Michael B. Kaplan. It’s a story about a little girl named Baby Buddy who discovers something very yummy. Let’s see what happens!
Baby Buddy is a little girl who loves chocolate cake. One day, after eating a healthy dinner with carrots, potatoes, and peas, her mom asked, “Who wants dessert? I have chocolate cake!” But Baby Buddy said, “I don’t like chocolate cake; it’s yucky!”
Her mom gave her a piece anyway, and guess what? Baby Buddy tried it and thought it was the yummiest thing ever! She was so happy and said, “When I grow up, I’m going to marry chocolate!” Her brother Henry laughed and said, “You can’t marry chocolate!”
That night, when her mom tucked her into bed, Baby Buddy said, “Goodnight, Mommy. I love chocolate cake!” The next day at school, she told her teacher, “I love chocolate cake!”
During playtime, Baby Buddy tried to make chocolate cake by mixing water and dirt, but it didn’t taste like chocolate cake at all. After school, she told her mom, “I want chocolate cake!” Her mom explained that sometimes we have to wait for things we want, and that’s called having patience.
At dinner, her mom said she could have dessert after eating her healthy dinner. Baby Buddy got upset and threw her peas and carrots. Everyone was surprised, even Baby Buddy!
Her mom wasn’t happy and told her to go to bed without chocolate cake. Baby Buddy was sad and said, “This family is yucky!” But she remembered she was hungry and ate her vegetables before going to bed.
Her mom came in to say goodnight and said, “I still love you, my dear.” Baby Buddy thought about the chocolate cake and cried a little.
Her mom promised to save a piece of chocolate cake for her to eat the next day after a healthy dinner. Baby Buddy liked this idea and wanted to say something nice to her mom.
The next morning, she wanted to say goodbye to her chocolate cake before school, so she put it in her pocket. At school, she was happy because she had chocolate cake in her pocket, and no one knew it!
That night, after a good dinner, her mom asked if she wanted her cake. Baby Buddy reached into her pocket, but her cake was gone! Instead, her pocket was filled with a brown goopy mess.
Her mom got her a new piece of cake and explained that putting cake in your pocket is not the same as being patient. Baby Buddy promised to be patient from then on.
The next morning, when she opened the refrigerator to say goodbye to her new piece of cake, she remembered not to put it in her pocket. Instead, she carefully stuffed it into her sock!
And that’s the story of Baby Buddy and her love for chocolate cake. Remember, sometimes we have to wait for the things we love, and that’s okay!
Chocolate Cake Experiment: Let’s explore what makes a chocolate cake so special! Gather some safe, edible ingredients like cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and water. Mix them together and observe how each ingredient changes the mixture. Ask yourself: What happens when you add water? How does the mixture feel? Remember, this is just for fun and not for eating! Discuss with your friends or family what you think makes a real chocolate cake taste so yummy.
Patience Practice: Just like Baby Buddy learned to be patient, let’s practice patience too! Choose a small treat or toy that you really like. Set a timer for 5 minutes and wait patiently until the timer goes off before you can have it. While waiting, think about how Baby Buddy felt when she had to wait for her chocolate cake. How does waiting make you feel? Share your thoughts with a friend or family member.
Story Time Role Play: Gather some friends or family members and act out the story of Baby Buddy. You can pretend to be Baby Buddy, her mom, or her brother Henry. Use props like a toy cake or a pretend refrigerator. As you act out the story, think about the different emotions Baby Buddy felt. How did she feel when she first tried the cake? How did she feel when she had to wait? Talk about what you learned from Baby Buddy’s adventure.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Baby Buddy loves chocolate cake. One day, after a healthy dinner of carrots, potatoes, and peas, Mother said, “Who wants dessert? I have chocolate cake!” Baby Buddy, who was not very good at trying new things, announced, “I hate chocolate cake; it’s yucky!”
Her mother gave her a piece, and Baby Buddy tried it. It was the yummiest thing she’d ever tasted! She exclaimed, “When I grow up, I’m going to marry chocolate!” Her brother Henry replied, “You can’t marry chocolate!”
That night, Baby Buddy’s mother tucked her in and said, “I love you.” Baby Buddy looked up and said, “Goodnight, Mommy. I love chocolate cake!”
The next day at school, Baby Buddy told her teacher, “I’m a handful, and I love chocolate cake!” During playground time, she tried to make chocolate cake by mixing water and dirt, but it didn’t taste like chocolate cake at all.
After school, her mother asked how her day was. Baby Buddy replied unhappily, “I want chocolate cake!” Her mother explained that sometimes you can’t have what you want right away, and that’s called having patience.
At dinner, her mother told her she could not have dessert until she ate a healthy dinner. Baby Buddy was frustrated and threw her peas and carrots. Everyone was shocked, including Baby Buddy.
Her mother was not happy and told her to go straight to bed without chocolate cake. Baby Buddy screamed, “This family is yucky!” But then she remembered she was hungry and ate her vegetables before going to bed.
Her mother came in to kiss her goodnight and said, “I still love you, my dear.” Baby Buddy thought about the chocolate cake and cried.
Her mother promised to put a piece of chocolate cake in the refrigerator for her to eat the next day after a healthy dinner. Baby Buddy liked this idea and wanted to say something nice to her mother.
The next morning, she wanted to say goodbye to her chocolate cake before school, so she put it in her pocket. At school, she was happy because she had chocolate cake in her pocket, and no one knew it.
