Description

One morning at breakfast-time, a pancake lays getting warm and toasty and ready to eat in a stovetop pan. But when he hears hungry little voices, he hops right out of that pan--and runs away! Sometimes, no matter how many people want us to slow down, it feels much better to move, move, move. But there's a time to run and a time to be still.

Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the story: 1) Roll your arms quickly and slowly like the Runaway Pancake. 2) Breathe in and exhale with a "mmm" sound. 3) Hug your child as they hug the pancake. 4) Whisper the pancake's secrets with your child.
