A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

Chapter One

The Secret Plan

Before anyone else was awake, your child tiptoed into the kitchen with a very big plan and a very small apron.

Chapter Two

One Flip Too High

The batter was perfect, the pan was hot, and your child flipped the pancake so high it never came back down.

A kitchen dusted white, a pancake still stuck overhead, and a very proud cook holding out a plate.

Chapter Three

Breakfast Is Served

In the end there was flour on the cat, syrup on the ceiling, and the proudest breakfast your child had ever made.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who the Pancake That Hit the Ceiling is for

The Pancake That Hit the Ceiling is for the child who wants to help and whose help comes with a cleanup. Every page has something going wrong in a way that makes children shout at the book: the flour cloud, the egg that rolls away, the pancake that simply refuses to come down. Parents reach for it when a child needs a laugh more than a lesson, and for the reader who usually gives up by page three.

Two to eight. The youngest laugh at the flour and point at the pancake on the ceiling in every picture after it. From five the joke is the plan itself, written down with total confidence and then undone step by step. From seven they enjoy knowing what will happen before the hero does. Reading level is chosen at setup.

For Lior, who once made us breakfast at five in the morning and used every egg we owned.

Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

What age is The Pancake That Hit the Ceiling for?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?
