The Apple Cake - Hardcover

by Nienke Van Hichtum (Author), Marjan Van Zeyl (Illustrator)

An old woman wants to bake an apple cake. She has everything she needs, except apples. So she sets off to market, taking a basket of plums to trade along the way, just in case...

This is a classic story of sharing, trading and caring. Children will love guessing what the woman will acquire next, and how, and seeing how her journey brings her a full circle as her kindness is repaid.
