Where is the Cake Now?

Where is the Cake Now? By T.T. Khing

Where is the Cake Now? is a wordless picture book. I had to look through it a few times to make sure I understood it. Sometimes I think wordless are harder to understand than picture books with words in them. There are so many things you miss when you are nt actually being told what's going on.

Picture books may seem easy to kids to read and they don't want to look at them especially when they are learning how to read because they feel like these books are for "babies." Really though they could be interpretation so many different ways which makes them so entertaining. This would be a fun book for students to lok at as a class and then go back to their seats and write about what they think happened and why characters did the things they did. Even though they all saw the same pictures in the same order I think they will all come up with completely different stories.

The story is about a town walking to a celebration and they are bringing these cakes on platters with them. It turns out someone stole the cakes because when everyone gets to the top of this hill where the party is going to be, there are no cakes underneath the platters. The whole story then is about finding out where the cakes are and who has them.
