Book Description

P and up
An adventurous look-and-find book with new stories to follow and items to discover in each browsing

Told entirely through pictures, Where Is the Cake? is a puzzle, a maze, an activity—and so much more! In each browsing, a new storyline will race through children’s heads as they follow the many different lead-ins that the illustrations present.

Mr. and Mrs. Dog’s cake is stolen!

And that’s just the beginning . . .

As they chase the thieves through a variety of landscapes, one calamitous event after another ensues.

Baby Bunny loses her toy. Mischievous Monkeys steal Miss Cat’s hat. Little Piglet goes astray.

And wait!

Will he fall off that cliff?

This stimulating book is the perfect backseat activity, and it encourages creative thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three Silly Chicks Review, October 1, 2007
This review is from: Where is the Cake? (Hardcover)
Reviewed by Three Silly Chicks - Readers, Writers, and Reviewers of funny books for kids.


It's sad but true. Sometimes, Silly Chicks have short attention sp . . .

Every now and then, we enjoy a super fast read. And what could be faster than reading a book without words? As it turns out, reading a book with words! At least that's the case when the book without words is the newly translated picture book called WHERE IS THE CAKE? by T.T. Khing. This title was originally published in Dutch as "Waar is de Taart?" (You don't really need to know that. We just like saying, "Waar is de Taart?")

This book contains two of our favorite things: Cake and looking for cake. Two very odd, possum-like creatures steal a cake from the dog family and high-tail it through an ever-changing landscape of dense forests, bamboo jungles, strange rock formations and mountains. Readers must track the mischievous marsupials and, of course, the cake. Easier said than done! Each maze-like page is filled with tiny exotic creatures, each on their own adventure. Why is the baby bunny wailing? Is that snake stalking the young piglet? Is that a chameleon sitting in the wet paint? Each frame introduces new characters and clues that will have kids (and adults) flipping pages back and forth with delight trying to figure out what is going on! It's enough to make you forget all about cake! Well . . . almost. WHERE IS THE CAKE? is simply a treat for book lovers of any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have in a child's library, September 6, 2007
By 
Chad Peterson (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Where is the Cake? (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my son (21 months) and he loves it. We can focus on something different every time we read the book thanks to all the characters and their adventures. Once he can talk, he will be able to tell the stories himself since there are no words. The colors and illustrations are beautiful, the characters are very well selected and each page has a surprise. And there are so many details to check out! It is a wonderful story, and I hope it becomes a child's classic. I highly recommend it to small children but also older children as all the stories within the story teach something and they can relate to what is happening.I look forward to more books from T.T. Khing in the future. CMP

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever changing story, September 27, 2011
This review is from: Where is the Cake? (Hardcover)
Other reviewers have written amusing and well stated reviews, yet I want to confirm: this is a great book! The pictures are cute and funny, there are lots of different stories they tell, and little (and big, of course) people will read for hours and hours without ever getting bored. So much to look at, so much to tell.
