Fun story and great CD! by E. Miller (Ohio) 5 Stars
June 08, 2009
My three year old borrowed this book with cd from the library and loved it so much he cried when it was time to return it! My children have truly gotten hours of enjoyment from listening to John Lithgow tell and sing the story on cd. It is a cute revision of the classic gingerbread man story with adorable illustrations that adults and children alike will appreciate.

Another rollicking fun read by John Lithgow! by z hayes (plano,texas) 5 Stars
October 23, 2008
John Lithgow's books for children are fun, entertaining reads! Books that can not only be enjoyed by children, but adults as well, and that's saying a lot.In "Marsupial Sue Presents the Runaway Pancake", the accompanying CD contains a live performance by John Lithgow, narrating [not word for word, but he adds a lot of humor to the story] and performing the song of the runaway pancake. This is such a wonderful book and CD combo that had my 3.5 year-old daughter laughing with glee and tapping her feet as she sang along to the CD.
I have read most of Lithgow's books for children and reviewed them, and I find they are excellent tools for promoting early literacy skills - the rhyming text and accompanying CD together with the humorous illustrations provide ample opportunity for sing-alongs, read-aloud, and active discussion of the themes in the books. Highly recommended!

Great for Storytime by J. Pinn 5 Stars
August 14, 2008
I just read this book during storytime at my local mall. Despite the noise and the playground surrounding them, my kids sat still and listened to the tale from beginning to end! They loved the pictures and the song. Some of them even sang along after awhile.
Once the story was over parents and children gave me a hand, so thank you John for a book that both adults and children can enjoy! Not only that I had a blast reading it aloud to boot!
