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.

‘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.’
—Midwest Book Review
‘[A] delightfully crazy cooking saga ... I give this a big recommendation with loads of olives, chocolate syrup, honeycomb chips and seaweed flakes on top for your little readers from Prep – Year 3.‘
—Just So Stories
‘Children aged 4–8 will delight in the gross-out humour 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
‘Fun, food and family are combined to give this funny tale its focus, as they all try to get Henry back with the family.’
—Fran Knight, ReadPlus
