Dragonwagon. This Is the Bread I Baked for Ned

This Is the Bread I Baked for Ned is a children's book by Crescent Dragonwagon, with art by Isadore Seltzer, published in 1989. It is available at the Internet Archive.

This is a "Jack" style cumulative story which starts using the long line option right from the start, along with some rhyming. For example:

This is the cheese, round and yellow
to go with the bread I baked for Ned
baked for Ned—what a fellow! —
baked for Ned in the morning.

The story goes from bread to cheese to greens, then comes vinegar and olives and oil, plus soup, along with tulips on the table, and plates and spoons of course... but then lots of people show up for dinner; not just Ned! And one of the people has brought her cat, which causes trouble: 

So the finale of the story involves the washing of dishes and cleaning up after the chaos. So, it's all over... until another day brings other meals tomorrow.

I'm not a big fan of the realistic type of story (I prefer something more wacky and whimsical), but the book is a good example of a cumulative "Jack" story with rhyming couplets, along with a nice winding down at the end of the story.
