Big John Pierre Jammer had a dream - and a whole lot of burnt syrup.
A young hockey star from Ottawa with a heart full of pancakes and a recipe that just wouldn't work, John knew his dream of opening the greatest pancake house north of the border was going to take a miracle... or maybe a really good road trip.
So with his loyal friends Chuck the Beaver and Sidney the Woodchuck packed in his leather bag, John heads south across Niagara Falls and into the wild, sun-soaked heart of America. There he meets the unforgettable Tom Soiled - a charming guide with a flask, a smirk, and a knack for finding adventure (and trouble).
Together they outrun a swarm of furious magic bees, befriend a comically clumsy honey-thieving bear, charm a koala in a quiet southern café, share a road with a beagle who insists he's not a blueberry, get a recipe from a mysterious diner waitress with a famous name, brief with a tiny scarred ant general named Ant-onio, and meet a Native American maiden who carries the missing ingredient hidden deep in her hands.
Along the way, John discovers that the perfect maple syrup isn't really about the maple at all - it's about the friends you find on the way to making it.
Uncle Jamima and the Great Maple Quest is a cinematic, laugh-out-loud picture book full of friendship, mischief, slapstick humor, sweet southern magic, and just enough gentle science to sneak some learning into the giggles. Lu & Matt's signature storybook universe expands again with cameo appearances from Koality, Blue Barry the Beagle, the Candy Ants, and other beloved BTB characters - making this a perfect next book for fans of the series.
Featuring lush painterly illustrations, warm storytelling, and characters kids will want to meet again and again, this is the kind of bedtime book that gets begged for night after night.
Perfect for ages 4-8 - Read-aloud friendly - Story-time approved
