The Runaway Pancake – Level 4

Description

The Runaway Pancake - Level 4 is a lively retelling of a classic story of a relentless pancake who decides to escape from the pan, retold by Mairi Mackinnon through simple text and stunning, well-detailed illustrations. The Runaway Pancake is a part of the Usborne First Reading Series and is a storybook written especially for children who are learning to read. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, Senior Lecturer in Education and Reading Specialist at the University of Roehampton, UK. When seven hungry children have pancakes for breakfast, one pancake refuses to be eaten, jumps out of the pan, and rolls right away. Can the runaway pancake escape from the whole family, the dog, the rabbit, the duck, the cat, the goat, the fox, and a cunning old pig? This retelling of the story gives a very important lesson for the children to remember- it is never good to be disrespectful and disobedient to the elders and parents. The Runaway Pancake - Level 4 storybook is a perfect classic tale for young children to read who are at beginner’s level with its simple sentences and eye-catching, vivid artwork to keep the little ones interested and engaged and developing reading stamina through simple, repetitive text. Most importantly, it also teaches a very important life lesson in a light and effortless way that’ll go a long way!
