1.0 out of 5 starsSimply Atrocious.
By Rie on 15 Jan. 2016
Format: Hardcover
Amazon and Scholastic. Grrrr.
These are not my words below. I have copied Jada Phelp's review as I'm too angry and disgusted to articulate how this book makes me feel. One star given only because a rating is required. I shall be boycotting Amazon.

"Critiquing the Children’s Book: "A Birthday Cake for George Washington” AKA “SLAVE WORK FOR MASSA” and soon to come in a Jewish version...“A STEAK FOR ADOLF HITLER", Staring Anne and Otto Frank.

This book depicts a father and his daughter excited about making a cake for the President of the US, George Washington. Very attractive cover with fantastic illustrations. Moreover, according to the author, this book is based on real historical events-particular a man named Hercules. Oh, how exciting and so culturally appealing. Except, In REAL LIFE, Hercules, was a descendant of kidnapped African people and he and his children were born into chattel slavery. The President, George Washington, whom the characters are presumably happy to bake this birthday cake for, owned them (IN REAL LIFE). Hercules used the hoopla around George Washington’s 65th Birthday to plot his escape from George Washington (IN REAL LIFE). He plotted this escape with his children-but not all of them were able to escape (IN REAL LIFE). Hercules was considered a fugitive until George Washington freed the 200 or so people that were enslaved on his plantation….Most of the slaves were “free” except Hercules grandchildren ended up still being enslaved because they were “dower” slaves (IN REAL LIFE).Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsBirthday Cake for George Washington
By R. L. on 18 Feb. 2016
Format: Hardcover
As an historian who has written about George Washington I collect as much material about him as possible whether good or bad. I ordered this book as soon as I became aware of its' publication. The content is (was) controversial and it seems that booksellers and online retailers have been forced by 'political pressure' to suspend selling this book. In short Amazon have decided that I cannot purchase this book instead of allowing me to read the contents and decided, for myself, whether or not it was offensive / wrong / inaccurate / biased. Frankly, I am very disappointed that Amazon is acting as censor on behalf of those who wish to stifle free speech no matter how twisted and nasty that freedom of speech. I still have not been informed that this book will not be delivered nor has a reason been provided.

1.0 out of 5 starsPatronising ...
By Darbs on 19 Jan. 2016
Format: Hardcover
How such a ridiculous "celebration" of slaves' stoicism got to print is hard to believe. Especially as the equally patronising 'A Fine Dessert' had received similar publicity previously. I hear that 'The Black and White Minstrels' are coming back to our screens shortly too.
