This delightful wordless picture book by Tomie DePaola tells the story of a little old lady who wakes up craving pancakes. Without a single word, readers follow her journey as she gathers all the necessary ingredients, from milking a cow and collecting eggs to grinding wheat. Her attempts are often comically "hindered" or assisted by her eager cat and dog, adding to the gentle humor. It's a wonderful book for young children aged 3-7, encouraging observation, storytelling, and an understanding of where food comes from. Parents will appreciate its quiet charm and the opportunities it provides for interactive reading.
A little old lady's attempts to have pancakes for breakfast are hindered by a scarcity of supplies and participation of her pets.
