Where is the Cake?by The-Tjong Khing
written for ages 2-7 | recommended
published in 2007 | Harry N. Abrams | 28 pages



Thé-Tjong Khing was born in Indonesia, studied in the Netherlands, and is now one of the Netherlands’ best-known illustrators and authors. His books have been translated into several languages, and Where is the Cake? must have been the easiest as, except for the title, it is a wordless book.
The main story involves a chase after two possums who have taken Mr. and Mrs. Dog’s cake. The action takes place on large pages (even a bit larger than the pages of a magazine) so there is plenty of room for detail, and for a host of different animals. There are more than 30 characters on each page, and almost as many storylines! I “read” this with my two-year-old daughter, and we had a great fun trying to keep track of what everyone was up to.
While it is wordless, it still lends itself to a lot of interaction. I was constantly talking to her about what must have happened “in between” the pages and congratulating her as she found Mr. and Mrs. Dog once again. She loved it, and her dad did too because it was book I could read again and again (as parents are often required to do) and keep finding new things. Great fun, and beautifully done.
There is a sequel called Where Is the Cake Now? which continues the story. It is also very good, but doesn't quite duplicate the charm of the original.

Australian actor Hugh Jackman has been playing the Wolverine (aka Logan) for 17 long years. That includes three films solely about his alter ego and five other films. Storing all up all that anger and frustration for two decades would have destroyed a lesser man!
But it turns out that the valedictory film, Logan, is much more than your typical crack-a-few-jokes and beat-them-to-a-pulp Marvel movie. According to the critics, it is possibly the best superhero film ever. And Joseph Breslin, in a very interesting review, argues that the film’s power is due to its intense focus on fatherhood, family and redemption. Check it out
