Description

It's Saturday morning, and Milo's been cooking his famously delicious pancakes. They're ready to serve but Henry doesn't feel like getting up. Now it's up to Milo and the twins to find a solution!

Dada Henry doesn't feel like pancakes this morning, and Milo and the twins aren't sure why. They persist making more and more elaborate concoctions: 'Maple Come Back for More', 'Little Puddings Supreme', and 'Brussels Sprouts Forget Me Never', but nothing will lure Henry out of bed.

Come on a chaotic culinary adventure as the fox family finds the perfect answer to a familiar problem. A funny, and heartwarming tale from award-winning creators Bernadette Green and Daniel Gray-Barnett in their first collaboration.

Perfect for:

  • Parents, teachers, and librarians looking for funny kids' books that deal gently with parental mental health
  • Anyone seeking books with incidental representation of LGBTQI+ families
  • Food-obsessed kids who love to experiment in the kitchen
  • Readers who would enjoy the joyful world-building of Richard Scarry with the soulful heart of A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

Critical Reviews

"With its large, brightly colored cartoonish illustrations and disgustingly eccentric recipes, this would be a fun read aloud ... Kids could write or draw their own disgusting recipes!"
--Youth Services Book Review

"With its underlying theme of dealing gently with parental mental health and representation of LGBTQI+ families, [Saturday is Pancake Day] is ideal for kids who love to experiment in the kitchen and young readers. A fun read from start to finish ... an original and unreservedly recommended pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections."
--Midwest Book Review

"Children aged 4-8 will delight in the gross-out humor of meals such as Good Morning Green Ice Cream (pickles, spinach, mayonnaise and ice cream), and they'll become caught up in the fox family's warm-hearted culinary bedlam ... Green and Gray-Barnett extend their passion for inclusive representation by addressing mental health through the gentle portrayal of Henry's struggle, as well as seamlessly incorporating same-sex parents into the story as a natural element, without unnecessary emphasis. ... A fun, bouncy book."
--Anica Boulanger-Mashberg, Books+Publishing

"This sweet book is the perfect literary start to a weekend morning."
--Carly Tagen-Dye, People

"Despite the fun and silliness of creating the weirdest flavor combinations, there is a serious side to this story ... A gentle reminder that sometimes even grown-ups need some time to themselves to regather and regroup."
--The Bottom Shelf
