BR 2-10: The RUNAWAY PANCAKE

I read The RUNAWAY PANCAKE. I am going to tell you about this story. The main character is a pancake. It is yellow and round. There is a family: parents, 7 kids, and a dog. In their garden, there are apple tree, and blue berry. The kids try to get these fruits. They look hungry.

One day, the mother made pancakes for breakfast for them. Everyone like pancakes. First, she mixed flour, milk, and eggs. Then, she put them into a frying pan. After that, she tried to turn the pancake over. However, the pancake didn't want to be eaten. So it rushed out of the room.

The mother made the kids to catch it. The kids ran. When the pancake ran around the house, the dog looked it. The dog wanted to eat it, so he ran after it. When it ran into the grasses, it met a rabbit. She also wanted to eat it, so she joined to run after it. When it ran near the lake, it met a duck. She also wanted to eat it. So she joined to run after it. When it ran near the farmyard, a cat saw it. She thought that it is game, and she wanted to join with them. When it ran near the farm, it met a goat. He also wanted to eat it, so he ran after it. When it ran, it met a fox. The fox asked it that why everyone is chasing you. It couldn't stop, so it didn't answer.

Next, the pancake rode on a kite. It landed at the edge of a forest. There were a pig, crows, apple trees, and a lot of angry trees. The pig guided it in the forest. Then, everyone running after it even now, so it entered in the pen of pig. Finally, it was eaten by pig. Everyone got angry with the pig.

I thought the pancake is so poor, because it ran after by everyone, and be eaten by pig. This is a sad story. I didn't expect such a story. I felt a little sad. The illustration is so pretty, so I chose this book.
