What a great book! I love the illustrations too. How sweet that the tables are turned and Mr Wolf isn’t the bad guy here! Once they are all inside Mr Wolf struggles to fight his wolfly instincts and you can imagine what happens next!

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any of the ingredients in his cupboard, so he decides to write a shopping list. Again, Mr Wolf has trouble with his list so he calls on Wee Willy Winky for help, only to have the door slammed on his pointy wolf nose. Love the book! Beautiful illustrations. I’m not so good at pancakes either - mine always end up like scrambled eggs!

Read and Create is a personal blog, featuring children's literature and the play, crafts, outings and food inspired by stories. This post is fantastic. I love the sound of this book and the questions you’ve thought of to go with the book are just what my boys need. Thank you. Poor Mr Wolf. He has to sit down on his own and read his book very slowly to work out which ingredients he needs.

Well you know we’re fans of Mr Wolf already! I do like these books, illustrations of great and they have a kind of Roald Dahl feel to them which always appeals. Mr Wolf’s Pancakes by Jan Fearnley allowed us the chance to think about Shrove Tuesday, what the day signifies and also the situations Mr Wolf faces. We made easy three ingredient pancakes, just like Mr Wolf, and cut the shapes of characters out of the batter so we could gobble all the neighbours up ourselves! My three year old requested pancakes for breakfast this morning so this would be a perfect book for her! Thank-you!

I love the sound of this book - I am sure Little Miss would enjoy it. It sounds like a great take on the traditional tale. What lovely illustrations, I loved books like this when mine was that age, so well drawn. These are the books you’ll want to keep and pass on to future generations (by then they probably won’t have books anymore!!) The opportunities for play and crafts from Mr Wolf’s Pancakes are fantastic. You can play shops, write a shopping list, count money, cook pancakes and observe them changing from liquid to solid, you can even eat the results! We had lots of fun with this book. Cute book and perfect for pancake day coming up! I like the illustration of him writing his shopping list. just shared a linky too xThis would be the perfect book to read in the run up to Pancake day, I have a feeling every time Roo read it she would as Mr Boo for pancakes I’m so glad you reminded me about Pancake Day. This looks like a fab way to get kids excited about it - I especially like the idea of them writing a shopping list. Shrove Tuesday (or Pancake Day) is next week, traditionally the day when eggs, butter and milk were used up before the beginning of Lent. These days it usually means a mad dash to the local shop for eggs and lemons so that you can enjoy the evening eating burnt batter, scraped off the ceiling or floor (or both shhhhh!). Not for us this year! We have been getting into the pancake spirit early, inspired by a rich and delectable story, Mr Wolf’s Pancakes by Jan Fearnley. Bring it on!
