Goodreads Synopsis:

Will you eat what I baked?A fun day at the beach means making some sweet treats to share with everyone! The main ingredient? Sand of course!No matter how yummy her rock-sprinkled cakes, seaweed pies and sea foam cream puffs look, this little beachside baker can’t seem to get ANYONE to eat her sandy sweets. Even the seagulls turn their beaks up! Will she ever find a customer willing to give them a try?Buoyantly poetic, this funny and sweet picture book from author Kallie George, featuring endearing illustrations from Devon Holzwarth, is a read-aloud treat for readers of all ages.
Sand Cakes is an absolutely charming children’s book that perfectly captures the simple joy of a day at the beach. The story follows a little girl as she whips up a variety of imaginative sand-made treats, inviting everyone to try her creations. While all politely decline, the sea itself can’t resist and sends a wave to snatch them up, adding a playful twist that kids will love.
The rhyming text is fun, bouncy, and at times a little tongue-twisty, making it extra enjoyable to read aloud. The rhythmic flow keeps young listeners engaged, while the playful word choices invite giggles and participation. The illustrations are equally lovely, bringing the beach setting to life with lots of colors and whimsical details that perfectly complement the imaginative spirit of the story.
With its creative premise, adorable art, and sing-song text, Sand Cakes is a wonderful addition to any child’s bookshelf. It's a perfect read for beach days, storytimes, or anytime you want to bring a bit of seaside magic into your home.
