Summary: This story is about a little boy who gives a pig a pancake and learns the consequences of doing so. In the book the girl gives a pig a pancake and then the pig wants some syrup to go with it and then she will get all sticky and want to take a bath. She asks for some bubbles, and then she will want a toy. The girl gets a rubber duck, which reminds her of home so she gets homesick and wants to go visit. She wants the girl to come with her so she looks through her closet to find a suitcase. She looks under the bed and doesn’t find a suitcase, but finds some tap shoes and so she puts them on and dresses up with other clothes too. When she’s all done she wants to dance so she asks the girl to play some music. Then the pig wants the girl to take a bunch of pictures of her while she is dancing. When she sees the picture she decides that she wants to send one to each of her friends. On the way out to mail the letters the pig sees a tree and wants to build a tree house. When the tree house is finished she wants to decorate it so she asks for some wallpaper and glue. When she hangs the wallpaper she gets all sticky which reminds her of maple syrup, so then she wants some. Then, to go with the maple syrup, she wants a pancake…
My Reaction to the Book: This is another story by Laura Numeroff that I really liked. It’s just a cute and creative story, definitely a fun story for kids.
Potential Problems: Again, the only problem that I would see with this story is it might teach children that if they ask for things then they will get them.
Recommendations: I would recommend this book to anyone. It’s a cute circling story just like the other one. I think that kids would really enjoy the story as well as the illustrations.
