I’m impressed of the book because it got 47 pages for me. I thought it was good book but some people don’t like it. It’s fiction and my three favourite characters are the cat, the rabbit and the duck.some people quite enjoyed a bit.

[5-year old] I enjoyed the pig tricking the pancake at the end of the book!

This story really reminded me of the ginger bread man, I thought it was pretty much the same story but using a pancake instead of a ginger bread man.

About a pancake like the gingerbread man and the pig outsmarts the pancake to eat it

This book is the same as the Gingerbread man but it is a pancake instead.

I liked the pig because he was cunning and sly.
General Bernice Armchair 22.08.2020
It was a similar story to the gingerbread man. I think the pig was clever because he was pretending he couldn't hear the pancake talking and then ate them. My favourite character was the rabbit.

I love this book. My best part was when they were all chasing the runaway pancake.

The pig was a bit greedy and cheeky and all the book really is is a long chase where more animals join the chase though is a bit funny.

I enjoyed this book very much. I enjoy making pancakes and thought it was funny when the pancake ran away. The pig ate it in the end. It made me smile.
