In "Eat Your Cake! Part I," Casper faces a surprisingly sweet challenge when a magically replenishing cake draws the attention of a hungry dragon. With Spooky and Hot Stuff too stuffed to fly, Casper must find a way to handle the dragon’s appetite—and the unexpected invitation he offers in return—before the Cub Scouts’ party is ruined. Ernie Colón handles both the interior art and cover, bringing his signature charm to this whimsical, cake-filled adventure.
