Pancakes-Paris is a children's novel by Claire Huchet Bishop.{Newbery Medal} Set in Paris a few months after the end of World War II, it follows Charles's quest to makes crepes for his little sister for Mardi Gras. These crepes were their way of celebrating the day before Lent. Lent is a six and a half week season of the Christian worship year which leads up to Easter. During Lent you also give up something. The french crepes came from American packaging with ordinary American Flour. Which was the difficult part for Charles because he could read French but he couldn't read English. All the steps on how to prep the crepes were in English. Even though this was a challenge Charles faced he still managed to pull through. He was also able to keep it a surprise for his Mother and little Sister Zezette. The novel, illustrated by Georges Schreiber, was first published in 1947 and was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1948.
