Plenty of Pancakes

From the creators of Dozens of Doughnuts comes 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?
Whether it's squirrels, or crows, or someone else swiping the food, Topsy knows she doesn't have much time left before hungry LouAnn wakes up. And it will take the help of all her animal friends to get the feast done in time. Can they make enough pancakes to feed everyone?
