Sand Cake

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.

My Favorite

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.

A witty story for kids - and grown-ups too!

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!
