The Apple Cake

This book is wonderful! Truly a gem of a find! I only wish I could find more books by this author. The illustrations are wonderful and the writing is beautifully done. I cried the first time I read it. Full of wise sayings as well. I highly recommend this book!

One of our new fall favorites! My 3 and 5 year olds equally love it. It's a bit long for a 3 year old - he often skips pages, but asks to read it everyday. Highly recommended!

This is a really sweet story and can even hold my two year olds attention (somedays at least)

This amazing story made me cry with happiness. There are very few stories I've found that are absolutely perfect in every respect, this book is one of them. The illustrations are beautiful, the story just right. It embodies all the best qualities I want my little man to develop, and is a heartwarming, timeless tale. If you have children of any age, this should be on your bookshelf.

A very lovely book. The story is sweet and charming and the pictures are soft and sweet. This book really keeps the interest of the children. It follows an old woman who wants to make apple cake but doesn't have apples and how she goes about getting them through meeting and trading with other people. I'd recommend it greatly. For ages 3 to 8

This is a wonderful book. My three year old, as well as my seven year old enjoy it. It is a soothing and sweet bedtime story. As a family, we look forward to making an applecake every fall from the recipe on the back.A wonderful tale of barter and generosity.

Absolutely the sweetest tale, offering a beautiful lesson for children.

Beautifully illustrated and beautifully told. My daughter loves the story (3 years) and is enjoying telling me about it.

It contains interesting ideas fir children in finding perspectives when hangs don’t quite work out as planned!

Beautiful book and story perfect for bedtime. And even has a recipe on the back!

Enjoy this warm and rosy story with young children, with evocative drawings from childhood past

Our children liked this story so much, they played it several times as a theater at birthday partys, planning all by themselves and acting well. The book ist nicely written and beautifully illustrated. A heart-warming, beautiful tale.

Die Geschichte ist entzückend und die Bilder sind einfach nur bezaubernd, meine Kinder waren begeistert und konnten sich nicht satt sehen!
