Very relatable story. Wanted to give five stars, but I cannot condone a pupper eating chocolate cake. Otherwise everything is adorable.

Fun, rhyming story about a little girls attempts to resist the ultimate temptation... Cake! With bright, clear illustrations throughout this highly relatable tale will be a hit with children aged 5+ There's plenty of scope for discussion in a classroom about the ways the children might distract themselves from temptation like our heroine and for exploring how they might solve the problem of the missing cake. This would also be a lovely text to use as inspiration for an art lesson designing a cake, an sphe lesson on healthy eating or a maths/science lesson on measures/materials and change (with real cake to be eaten at the end!)

LOVE this one! A touching story of a girl and her sneaky quest for cake (includes a bonus cake recipe)!

Super cute and funny. Written in rhyming lines. The title says it all.
