"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.
