I read The RUNAWAY PANCAKE, because the book cover is very cute and the title has a impact. It is a folk tale from Germany and Norway. There are different versions with different characters, but the pancake always gets eaten at the end. The main character is a pancake. There was once a family with seven children, and they were always hungry. One day, their mother decided to make pancakes for breakfast. She poured the mix into a pan to cook. She tossed the first pancake, up in the air and down again. But the pancake didn't want to be eaten. It jumped right out of the pan and rolled out of the door. They all went running after it. The pancake rolled out of the gate and into the road, faster and faster. The dog was snoozing in his kennel when the pancake rolled past. The pancake rolled on with the dog and all the family chasing behind. A rabbit in a field saw the pancake rolling past. The pancake rolled on with the rabbit , the dog and all the family chasing behind. A duck on the stream saw the pancake rolling past. The pancake rolled on with the duck, the rabbit, the dog and all the family chasing behind. Then, the pancake met a cat, a goat, a fox and a pig. Finally... the pancake was eaten by the pig. The pig told a lie to the pancake.
I think it is interesting and funny story. And this story is similar to The Old Woman who swallowed a Fly. The rhythm is good and it is easy to read it. So I recommend it to you! I want you to read it ;)
