Birthdays are a special time, especially for young kids. Ruthie wakes up on her birthday wanting something special to eat for breakfast (desayuno): cake (pastel)! Her parents think that she should eat what they do, but Ruthie is determined to have her pastel and eat it too. Can she convince her sweet grandmother to make her cake for breakfast? With multiple repetitions of desayuno (breakfast), debes (you should), puedes (you can) and parece (it seems), this story is great for reviewing foods and common verbs. Yet, no matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. 

You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2020/03/20/pastel-para-el-desayuno/
