With Shrove Tuesday falling on March 5th, the PEPELT team was not going to miss out on Pancakes.

“Mr Wolf wants to make pancakes but is unable to read the recipe book, write the names of the ingredients or count the money to buy them. His neighbours are unwilling to help him, but are soon lured by the delicious smell of pancakes when he successfully completes his task.” (Egmont Publishing ) look inside & Jan Fearnley’s website.
