A friendly introduction to pancake making by a most stylish culinary cat-Tallulah!
Tallulah is a cat. You might say she is something of a pancake expert. Not every kind she creates turns out perfectly, of course-the coconut and jelly bean filled variety was not a big hit. But her marshmallow and sliced banana pancakes are simply divine. Today, Tallulah is going to make her special Blueberryalicious Pancakes. And while Tallulah takes her cooking very seriously, she and her friends also know how to have fun in the kitchen.
Step by step, from buying all the ingredients to flipping the last pancake, Tallulah introduces young children to the joys of cooking.
This little piggy did not.
This little piggy closed his mouth while he ate.
This little piggy forgot.
Oops!
Just like little piggies, it's easy for young children to sometimes forget their manners. Here's a jaunty picture book that will make the learning experience all the more fun.
"The biggest drawback of this fun, funny frolic is
that the exemplary manners of the proper porker don't hold a candle
to the laugh-out-loud antics of the socially impaired piglet-the one
sure to leave a lasting impression on a giggly target audience." --Booklist
"Amusing, cheerful instruction for the young formative preschooler."
--Kirkus Reviews
"First-time author Allen transforms the classic toe-wiggling rhyme
into a pig-centric do's-and-don'ts etiquette lesson. . . . debut
illustrator Wolff portrays the pig's tablemates as awed by his
finesse." --Publishers Weekly
"Teachers encouraging young children to help create positive group
experiences will welcome this lively addition." --School
