"I did not eat the cake."

An irresistibly tall tale full of warmth, wit, cake and . . . penguins! Perfect for small children with big imaginations, Where Has All the Cake Gone? is the first picture book from sensational new team, Andrew Sanders and Aysha Awwad. 

A cake has gone missing from the kitchen and Dad wants to know where it has gone. But Albert says it wasn't him. Oh, no. It was eaten by some very naughty penguins who then kidnapped Albert and took him on a madcap adventure involving international travel in a giant jar of marmalade and a snowball fight with kangaroos. Albert's dad is not impressed. But Albert swears he's telling the truth. HE DID NOT EAT THE CAKE! Could his story really be true? 

Andrew Sanders’ fresh voice is full of wit and humour and is perfectly complimented by spectacularly talented debut illustrator Aysha Awwad’s bright, bold and energetic artwork.

Parents everywhere will recognise this familiar scenario of a child telling a truly outlandish story to get themselves out of trouble and children alike will love pondering whether Albert’s story could possibly be true…
