Lumberjack Paul and his ox Babe love pancakes so much that they take a cross-country adventure in search of "their pancake fortune." Their obsession shapes the American countryside--for instance, they create the Rocky Mountains by nibbling on a mountain range grown out of sun-cooked pancake batter. Luckhurst's brightly colored, humorous folk art pops in this outlandish twist on a tall tale.
