"I'm too fast, you're too slow. Pan, pan, patty-cake pan, I can get away from you, I can!"
The much-loved story of the Runaway Pancake who pops out of the oven and is sure he can escape all who want to eat him is given a new spin when Marsupial Sue and her friends put on a play version for their neighborhood. This has all of the wit and whimsy of Marsupial Sue and again features lively illustrations by Jack E. Davis. From the friends' preparations behind the scenes to the actors' final bows, readers will be inspired by the production.
Publishers Weekly,The spunky gal first introduced in Marsupial Sue here presents a retelling of the tale of the Runaway Pancake as a neighborhood play, Marsupial Sue Presents "The Runaway Pancake": Book and CD by John Lithgow, illus. by Jack Davis. What starts out onstage, however, quickly bursts onto spreads of Davis's quirky landscapes, filled with an offbeat cast (the Fox sports a jester-like cast, a koala uses socks to look the part of a canine, etc.), all in pursuit of one rolly-polly, boisterous pancake.
