Where Is the Cake?

Where Is the Cake? by The Tjong-Khing 2007

A suspenseful story told completely without words. A pleasant day is spoiled when Mr. and Mrs. Dog's cake is stolen. They take off in hot pursuit. A huge cast of characters is wordlessly introduced, and the challenge to find them on each page begins. The illustrations provide an abundance of lead-ins at every turn, making the storyline change constantly. The clues presented will have kids turning pages back and forth to figure out who has the cake.

The maze like illustrations of Tjong-Khing are riveting, and will cause this book to be picked up over and over, even after the cake grabbing culprit is revealed.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
