Plenty of Pancakes is a lively take on friendship, springtime, and counting by fives.
Opossum Topsy is preparing a 'Welcome Spring!' meal for her bear friend LouAnn, who has been asleep all winter long.

She's brought milk, eggs, berries, and syrup, and soon she has five perfect pancakes, fresh from the pan.

But when Topsy's back is turned—MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH!—she discovers someone has eaten all of the pancakes!

No problem, she'll just make more, counting out five at a time.

But then, it happens again!

Who could the thief be?

Even Steven is a lighthearted, humorous picture book from the author/illustrator duo behind Don’t Hug Doug about a boy who wants everything to be perfectly even.

Say hello to Steven.

Steven likes to share!

He knows the best way to share something is to split it in half.

It’s fun!

It’s fair!

And it’s EVEN.

But some things aren't so easy to split in half ...

Like a nickel.

Or a book.

Or a slide.

Sometimes taking turns is better.

Or giving one of something to each person.

Steven likes these options because they're fun, and fair, and still EVEN!

But...can some things be even, but not fair?

Can some things be fair, but not even?

Steven isn't so sure, and he'll need YOUR help to figure it out!
