(2) K-3 In his foray into pancake making, Mr. Wolf asks so politely for help that you forget his bad reputation and wonder how his neighbors can be such meanies. The pancakes' aroma wafts through the fairy-tale neighborhood, causing the greedy residents to come calling. How does Mr. Wolf handle the situation? Let's just say he didn't acquire his portly figure from a diet of nothing but pancakes. Congenial illustrations accompany this snappy tale.
