~ Oversized Hardcover (21 x 28cm) On a crisp late-winter day, Toby is riding in the back of her parents' wagon and admiring her new clothes when they hit a bump and she is launched deep into the New England woods where she must defend herself from ferocious beasts. Cleverly she trades pieces of her clothing to various animals to ensure her safety. Then as the forest creatures begin to argue over which one of them looks the grandest, they start to chase each other around a tree until they melt into a puddle of sweet maple syrup, and what better to do with maple syrup than make pancakes for supper! Inspired by the pluck and tradition of Helen Bannerman's The Story of Little Black Sambo and infused with the flavor of an American tall tale, Pancakes for Supper! is a comical, clever, and respectful take on an iconic tale whose pictures of animated animals wearing Toby's clothing are sure to delight.
