One thing triggers another, and if the pig sees something, he wants more of something else. It starts with a little girl giving the pig a pancake, which causes him to want some syrup, which causes him to want quite a few more other things before we are at the end when he is back to wanting a pancake to go with syrup. http://www.lauranumeroff.com/ Incredible website! There is information on the author, on her books, information for parents and teachers, and even a link for kids to play on. mhwilson | Oct 27, 2009 | This is a book about what happens when you give a pig a pancake. One thing keeps leading to another as soon as the pig gets the pancake he asks for syrup, and gets sticky and then asks for a bath, and then wants bubbles and a rubber duck. It keeps going on until the end when the pig gets all sticky again and is reminded of the syrup on the pancake and then wants another one. (  ) amguess | Oct 27, 2009 | This is another if you give a... story about a funny animal that keeps wanting new things when they get something else. In this story it starts with giving a pig a pancake. These stories are good for entertainment, and most kids think they are funny. (  ) menaramore | Oct 25, 2009 | This is a cute book with great illustrations. This book is about a pig who asks for a pancake and that leads him to asking for syrup, a bath, a treehouse, etc. This book doesn't have too many educational purposes but would be a fun book to read during free time. You could also discuss with students if the pig is being polite. This could create a short lesson on being polite when you are a visitor at someone else's house. I think all students around the kindergarten age would love this book. ( ) kmsmith13 | Oct 25, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0060266864, Hardcover)"If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath." You get the idea. Baths lead to bubbles, bubbles lead to rubber ducks, rubber ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm. If You Give a Pig a Pancake is a delightful exploration of the scenario "if you give an inch, they'll take a mile." But who could refuse the whims of this adorable piglet? Not us, and certainly not the pig's young caretaker. Parents will feel a familiar twinge as they witness the pig's increasingly elaborate demands, and kids will be delighted that the story circles back around to the original pancake. Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond--well-loved creators of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Moose a Muffin--succeed again in concocting a marvelously skewed study of cause and effect that inevitably results in a riotous read-aloud. Your kids will ask for this book again and again, and you won't want to refuse.
