  A story starring a pancake. As a person who only eats breakfast during the weekends - pancakes and dosa, I can't say no to the book. Unfortunately, it was a copycat of The Gingerbread Man and the illustrations were a bit dull.

  Kaçış, heyecan, korku, kaygı, endişe... Bu koşturmaca da tek bir isteği vardı. Yaşamak. Bu adi şerefsizler tarafından yenmemek. İnsanlıktan ümidimi kestim artık. Lütfen onu yalnız bırakın.

  Really, I have no idea what is the moral of the story, or if I do, then I hope I'm wrong.

  Bah. So 1 star from me. But the target audience (a 4-yr-old) loves it, so that's 5 stars. Plus the illustration is first quality... so it gets 3 stars.

  I didn't like it when the pancake takes on human capabilities "like thinking and talking" and then is eaten by a pig taking on human qualities "like thinking and talking." While I know that pigs eat pancakes every day, those pancakes do not talk and are not lured to their doom. I'd recommend skipping this book. There are so many other good books to read.

  This is similar to the Gingerbread Man.

  I like it because there was a runaway pancake and the children wanted to eat it and they all ran after it and couldn't catch it but the pig gulped it up!

  I loved the illustrations of this book but this story has better versions. I absolutely adore this kiddie story. Sometimes reading small cute books is such a relaxing idea.

  Traumatizing.

  Very similar to Gingerbread Man, but with its own twists. Easier for my kids to identify with. (We've never made gingerbread men, but we do make pancakes often.)
