Description



Book Synopsis



A bright and contemporary retelling of the classic tale.

Dad's made a delicious-looking pancake, and everyone wants some - but the pancake has other ideas! It flips out of the pan and flies through the open door, shouting: "No one's going to eat me, I'm far too fast. Catch me if you can!" Will anyone be able to eat the pancake?

Children will love the playful, rhythmic text and lively and diverse illustrations.



Review Quotes




'Like the classic tale "The Gingerbread Man", this cumulative story relies on repetition and rhythm... Children will gobble this one up and ask for more.' --Kirkus Reviews

'What elevates this simple tale is the beautiful watercolor illustrations that are vivid, highly detailed, and give readers a sense of place. Children will almost hear the leaves rustling in the wind and smell ripening apples in the trees as the animals crash through the autumn forest.'--School Library Journal

'Attractive watercolor and colored pencil drawings emphasize the pancake and its parade of predators, pulling the eye horizontally across the scenes as the chase comically proceeds. This was a cute and playful story. It would make a good read aloud'-- Youth Services Book Review

'A silly and fun retelling of a beloved classic. Adults will enjoy revisiting this story, and children will laugh as the pancake manages to escape everyone trying to just grab a bite of it.'--YA Books Central

'The art is lovely and the cast nicely updated and diverse. A must-have if you do any kind of stories or storytelling with folktales.'-- Flying Off My Bookshelf
