Overview
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!"" The cheeky runaway pancake meets many farmyard and forest animals as it makes its escape, but none of them are quick enough to catch it. Will anyone be able to eat the pancake? This colourful and contemporary retelling of the classic tale features playful, rhythmic text from Tiny Fisscher, accompanied by bright, lively and diverse illustrations from Sophie Pluim.

Reviews
'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 'Illustrated in vibrant colours and with a cheeky runaway pancake as the protagonist, this playful story with rhythmic text will get your children engaged and smiling for sure!' -- thekidsbookstagrammer (Instagram) 'The cumulative elements throughout the story make this a fun read... that had my boy giggling at the absurdity of the boastful pancake being put back in its place.' -- Storybook_mamma (Instagram) 'A colourful and modern retelling of a well known classic and it had us giggling from beginning to end!... Definitely one that we will read over and over again.' -- Mum of Boys Northeast (Instagram)
