Mr Wolf's Pancakes: The hilarious classic illustrated children’s book, perfect family fun for Pancake Day and Easter!

I did order the 25th anniversary edition so I was more than disappointed when the normal edition arrived.. however, my son absolutely loves this book and it is now a firm favourite in our house 😊

Bought this for my son 20 years ago and now again for my great-niece. This is such an excellent story, with a wicked twist.

A super text to use for teaching purposes! Lots of familiar traditional tale characters, such as the gingerbread man and little red riding hood. A fun twist on these classics, by representing the wolf as a friendly character in need of help and challenging children's automatic perceptions that the wolf will be big and bad! Lots of opportunities to explore PSHE themes, writing - lists, recipes, letters, rewrite..., other traditional tales, food tech (making pancakes!) etc.

The pictures are so colourful and funny. A big hit with my daughter as she loves all the various fairytale stories coming together in one book.

Nice pictures probably suits older children who have sense of humour because of the ending when the wolf eats his neighbours. I changed the ending for my granddaughters aged 3.

Both my daughter (age 3) and I love this story, so it features regularly at bedtime. The story is a modern rewriting of The Little Red Hen, and has updated that story in a way that is modern, refreshing and a lot of fun. I've read The Little Red Hen with my daughter previously but she doesn't really understand what an ear of wheat is or why it gets taken to a mill (depsite my best efforts at explaining). She easily understands the shopping and cooking processes, having done both many times, so it's much easier for her to empathise with what Mr Wolf needs to do. As a result, the story is more engaging and the moral about helping others is much stronger. The twist at the end continues to delight, despite no longer having the element of surprise.The language is good and easily positions Mr Wolf as the hero and the others as villains, despite this being a reversal of the other stories referenced, e.g. Little Red Riding Hood. The illustrations are also great, with some lovely touches that keep me entertained, which always helps on the fiftieth reading!

Fantastic book! Read with my 3 year old and 6 year old and they loved it. They both requested it constantly and loved the ending! A great family read

Enjoyed by the children I shared it with in preschool, a easy to understand story with some familiar characters

Great book using traditional characters but it has a surprising end. Love it!
