“I'm too fast, you're too slow. Pan, pan, patty-cake pan, I can get away from you, I can!”

This has all of the wit and whimsy of Marsupial Sue and again features lively illustrations by Jack E. Davis. From the friends’ preparations behind the scenes to the actors’ final bows, readers will be inspired by the production.
