Saturday is Pancake Day

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

One morning Milo tossed pancakes high in the air. Lily, Lena, and Gwendolyn jumped up and down trying to catch them.

'Breakfast is ready,' called Milo. But upstairs all was quiet.

Dada Henry doesn't feel like pancakes this morning, and Milo and the twins aren't sure why. They persist making more and more elaborate concoctions, Maple Come Back for More, Little Puddings Supreme, and Brussel Sprouts Forget Me Never, but nothing will lure Henry out of bed.

This funny and heartwarming story tells us that every now and then, everyone needs some 'me-time'.

'Children aged 4-8 will delight in the gross-out humour of meals such as Good Morning Green Ice Cream (pickles, spinach, mayonnaise, and ice cream), and they'll become caught up in the fox family's warm-hearted culinary bedlam ... Green and Gray-Barnett extend their passion for inclusive representation by addressing mental health through the gentle portrayal of Henry's struggle, as well as seamlessly incorporating same-sex parents into the story as a natural element, without unnecessary emphasis. ... A fun, bouncy book.'
-Anica Boulanger-Mashberg, Books+Publishing

'With its large, brightly coloured cartoonish illustrations and disgustingly eccentric recipes, this would be a fun read aloud ... Kids could write or draw their own disgusting recipes!'
-Youth Services Book Review

'With its underlying theme of dealing gently with parental mental health and representation of LGBTQI+ families, Saturday is Pancake Day is ideal for kids who love to experiment in the kitchen and young readers. A fun read from start to finish.'
-Midwest Book Review
