Le célèbre conte, narrant comment une poule finit par réaliser et manger seule son gâteau sans en faire profiter les autres animaux qui refusèrent en tout temps de l'assister durant la préparation, illustré ici de robustes et pimpants collages de synthèse combinant, avec un brin de maladresse et dans un esprit enfantin, des aplats de couleurs très vives découpés grossièrement, ce qui confère aux personnages, munis d'yeux étoilés, de crêtes ébouriffées et de plumages festifs, des allures bigarrées joyeusement excentriques. Une recette de gâteau à réaliser en trois étapes conclut l'album. [SDM].
