Pancakes vanish mysteriously as Topsy races to prepare a feast before LouAnn wakes.
Topsy the opossum is on a mission to prepare a spring feast for her bear friend LouAnn, who’s been hibernating all winter. But as she cooks, her pancakes mysteriously disappear, one batch after another. With time running out before LouAnn wakes, Topsy must solve the mystery of the pancake thief. Can she and her animal friends whip up enough pancakes in time, or will the sneaky culprit leave them empty-handed? Discover the playful chaos and teamwork in this delightful tale of friendship and culinary adventure.
From the creators of Dozens of Doughnuts comes a lively take on friendship, springtime, and counting by fives. Opossum Topsy is preparing a “Welcome Spring!” meal for her bear friend LouAnn, who has been asleep all winter long. She’s brought milk, eggs, berries, and syrup, and soon she has five perfect pancakes, fresh from the pan. But when Topsy’s back is turned–MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH!–she discovers someone has eaten all of the pancakes! No problem, she’ll just make more, counting out five at a time. But then, it happens again! Who could the thief be? Whether it’s squirrels, or crows, or someone else swiping the food, Topsy knows she doesn’t have much time left before hungry LouAnn wakes up. And it will take the help of all her animal friends to get the feast done in time. Can they make enough pancakes to feed everyone?
