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. 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.

“I might be no closer but at least I am no further away and who knows I may get home to bake an apple cake yet”

One of our ten favourites to be featured in the kindergarten 10 of the Book Celebration. We read this book every year the week of Apple Day, 21st October. There is an apple cake recipe in the book and we press apples for juice all that week.
