Product Description
"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. A CD recording of John Lithgow's live performance of the song "The Runaway Pancake" is also included.

We just LOVE Marsupial Sue! February 4, 2006

When I learned there was a new "Marsupial Sue" book out I knew I had to get it for my daughter's fourth birthday. The original "Marsupial Sue" is now tattered and taped from many fun-filled readings. After perusing the reviews I was hesitant to order the book because the critics thought it might be confusing for small children. Not so! My kids (2.5 and 4) are asking to read it over and over. They are not confused at all about the characters' costumes and they picked up on the rhyme immediately. We're now laughing about the costumes the animals put together and singing "No No No No No" joyously! Thanks Mr. Lithgow for more great memories.

This is just a terrific children's book and John Lithgow does an amazing rendition of it on the included CD. My children (almost 3 and almost 5) just love it. They laugh and sing along and have the most fun with this book.
If you liked Marsupial Sue you will love this one too.
Wonderful Fun! March 10, 2007

My five year old daughter and I read this book three times together this morning. Then, we listened to the CD five times together, then she listened to it three times more!!!! This is a wonderfully entertaining and funny story. My little girl has been running around singing the song all morning!
Thanks John Lithgow, for using your talent to entertain families!
Excellent book. August 7, 2006

We received I am a mannatee in a cherios cereal box and because both our children liked it so much decided to take a look at other books from John Lithgow. This one is also excellent reading even for the youngest due to the rythim of the story and the very detailed illustrations. Music CD included is an added bonus.
A literary hit! January 23, 2007
Kid Advocate (Palmyra, WI USA)
I can't immagine a day without the "Pancake Book". My children are 3 years and 21 months, and have been enjoying this story and the recording for almost a year. It is a wonderful story, and the naration really makes it come to life! This is a must have for any home with preschool children.
