PUPPY’S PANCAKES

Once there was a grandfather
Who had a very strange name:
It was Puppy, not Papa or Grampa,
And pancakes were his claim to fame.

Puppy loves to make pancakes with his grandchildren because of the special bond it creates between them.

After he teams with his grandkids to mix the batter, gather utensils and secret ingredients, and grease the griddle, Puppy then introduces them to his favorite pancake friends that include Lucy and the Beast, the Prince, the Frog, Abby the Mermaid, Black Beard and Red Beard, Santa, and many others. Included are short poems and pictures of each pancake followed by detailed instructions on how children can bring them into being and create their own special pancake friends!
