This story is well thought out and is fantastic for young minds. My 3yr old granddaughter can not get enough of it. Jan makes all of her books come alive with her great storylines and out of this world drawings.

I love Mr Wolf

Mr Wolf wants to make pancakes, but his rude and uncooperative neighbours won't give him any help. Wee Willie Winkie, the Ginerbread Man, Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs all give him the brush-off, so in the end he has to make them himself. When it comes to eating them though it's a different story, and everyone wants some. Then Mr Wolf gets his revenge! This is a very funny book with delightful illustrations, any children with a sense of humour should enjoy it, and their parents too.

Wolf wants to make pancakes. As he doesn't read well, count well or own a shopping basket so he politely asks for some help from his neighbours, the piggies, chicken licken, little red riding hood etc. But his neighbours are rude and refuse to help. We all know why, they have seen this chap somewhere before! Wolf manages to make his pancakes alone. Once the neighbours get a whiff of what's baking in Wolf's house they go over and demand some food. Well, Wolf eats up all his pancakes and...... Cute little story if not a little hurried. Children might need some reminding where else they know wolf from. Worth having for the children (3 to 7 year olds) Not a jewel of a find but nor a dissapointment. To buy or not to buy? Buy

gloriously funny

This is a wonderful book, clever, intelligent, and very funny. Suitable for any child from two upwards, it is the slight tale of Mr Wolf's attempts to make some pancakes, despite the rude lack of support from his friends around town, including the three little pigs, Mother hubbard et al. Delightfully illustrated, it subverts the image of big bad wolf, turning him into the victim, until the hilarious denoument which, on reading it for the first time, had me creasing up in laughter (which interrupted my daughter's bedtime story that night). Glorious, highly recommended. Buy it for a friend's child too.

Mr Wolf seeks help to make pancakes... but doesn't get it.

Mr Wolf wants to make some pancakes, and seeks help along the way from his fairytale neighbours who are all very rude indeed - but he manages to make them in the end, all by himself... Delightfully written and illustrated, this very witty book has a positively *delicious* denouement. :-)
