Book Description:

Missing ingredients and mischievous pets create one humorous complication after another for a little old lady determined to make pancakes for breakfast in this larger-sized, color-enhanced edition of Tomie dePaola’s wordless picture book classic.

Review:

This is a funny story that teaches kids not only where ingredients for pancakes come from, the work it takes to make food, but also how to be generous when things don’t go the way we were hoping!
