Set sail for sweetness, whimsy, and pancakes.

Margot and her grandfather both wake up hungry for pancakes but find they do not have the ingredients they need. To gather eggs, milk, and flour, they must visit Chicken Island, Cow Island, and Flour Mill Island. The duo set sail on their boat, the Beluga Blue. They gather eggs among the chickens and practice “speaking cow” on Cow Island. Margot manages Flour Mill Island on her own, with a bit of rescue from Grandfather at the end. A storm forces them to harbor, where they must wait out the weather in their cozy ship only to discover, after the rain clears, that they are at Banana Tree Island. Then it’s time for Margot and Grandfather to whip up some banana pancakes on the Beluga Blue. The text is charming and playful (“My tummy is grumbly for pancakes, Grandpa!”), enhanced by beautiful digital artwork with fun details gracing each page (the inhabitants of Cow Island sport adorable hats), including the bright endpapers. The book concludes with a recipe for the “best banana pancakes in the history of pancakes.” Margot and Grandfather are brown-skinned. (This book was reviewed digitally.)
