The temptation: When Michael was a young boy, he had one absolute favorite treat in the entire world. It was the moment his mum baked a rich, gooey, magnificent chocolate cake! The midnight feast: The temptation of that leftover cake sitting downstairs in the dark kitchen is simply too much to resist. What follows is a stealthy, crumbly, and wonderfully messy nighttime mission to get just one more bite. Why it is delicious: Brought to life as a vibrant picture book, Michael Rosen's famous poem is a fantastically funny love letter to every child's favorite dessert. Kevin Waldron's characterful illustrations perfectly capture the suspense, the silly noises, and the ultimate chocolatey triumph.
