The Cake that Mack Ate is a children's book by Rose Robart, with art by Maryann Kovalski, published in 1991. It is available at the Internet Archive.
This works backward from the cake to the egg to the chicken to the corn, to the seed, the farmer, the farmer's wife, and candles, very short lines (told cumulatively), but no rhyme:
...and then we learn: this is Mack!
And he was not supposed to eat that cake, ha ha.
It's not much of a story, but it is very simple and sweet, and I think young readers would probably enjoy it! It could also be an inspiration for a chain tale about some other pet misadventure. Everybody who has pets has pet misadventures like the cake that Mack ate.
