Mix a Pancake

by Christina Rossetti (Author), Monique Felix (Illustrator)

Young listeners and readers will be "stirred" to action as they follow along with the lilting rhyme, rhythm, and repeating words of Christina Rossetti's classic children's poem, illustrated as a board book by Swiss artist Monique Felix. The animal characters portrayed in Felix's expressive, child-friendly style convey irrepressible emotion and energy, while a basic recipe for pancakes presented at the outset lends an element of nonfiction to the lyrical text. A simple, accessible introduction to poetry for little learners.
