BR 2-12: The RUNAWAY PANCAKE


I read “The RUNAWAY PANCAKE” today. The reason I chose this book to read is that I were attracted to the cover. The cover is cute! When I saw it, I decided to read it at once. There were many characters. They were a family with seven children, a dog, a rabbit, a duck, a cat, a goat, a fox, a pig and pancake.

One day, the mother decided to make pancakes for breakfast. She tossed the first pancake, up in the air and down again. It was finish to make the pancake. The family readied to eat the pancake. But the pancake didn’t want to be eaten, so it ran away! The family ran after it to catch and eat it. The dog, the rabbit, the duck, the cat, the goat joined it on the way, because the pancake seemed good. They were hungry and they wanted to eat it. The pancake ran faster and faster. The pancake thought that no one caught it. But finally the pig caught it. The pig was happy to eat the pancake, but the family and other animals that ran after it was sad or angry. Everyone wanted to eat the pancake.

This story is interesting for me because the pancake can run away and speak. And it must be interesting to see pancake’s escape. When I read this story, I remember a Japanese song “Oyoge Taiyakikun” Do you know this song? The song is like this story. Taiyaki wanted to be eaten by people, so it ran away!
