This excellent story had even me (the mum) guessing how Baby Bear and Papa Bear were going to make a cake (with milk, flour and eggs) at the beach! Mr Asch has really written a wonderful story that's full of warmth, imagination and originality. My two year old insists that I read it to her at least three times every night. She also loves looking out for little details in the pictures. A month has gone by and she is still excited by it!

Nice description by the other reviewer. I will just add that Sand Cake is not just my favorite children's book -- I'm 53 years old -- but my favorite book, period! (My second-favorite is Sweet Thursday, the sequel to Steinbeck's Cannery Row.) Sand Cake is a short sonata in words and pictures.

This was in excellent condition and was a gift for my sister. It brought us back to when we used to read it when we were young. Great pictures and story.

We've read and loved Frank Asch books for a long time. This one is a particular favorite in our family. It's hard to find, so I was delighted to find a copy to share with nieces and nephews.

Sand Cake is a cute story of a family of bears who go to the beach. The little bear uses his imagination and draws in the sand with a stick. It's even a little funny. A cute story about a cute family and an imaginative baby bear.
