I remember this book being read to me by my mother when I was around the age of five. I'm now 22, studying English at university and I still remember the fun that I had with that book! It isn't your typical childrens book, instead it is a wonderful story written in rhyme about a boy who is sent upon a shopping trip by his mother. He is given a list of things to remember, the most important thing being not to forget the bacon. The story unfolds like a game of chinese whispers with the boy confusing himself about the contents of his shopping list, however, each page ends with the title line "DON'T FORGET THE BACON!" which I remember my mother and I taking great joy at shouting at the tops of our voices!!!
This is one of the books that remends me of my childhood and I thank Pat Hutchins for writing a book that made the memories of my growing up be ones of laughing and shouting "DON'T FORGET THE BACON!"
For Mother's Day this year I bought my mum a copy of the book as our original copy had been misplaced over the years. She said, with tears in her eyes, that it was the best present that I had ever bought for her!
A wonderful read!

My son is 15, and this is still his favorite book!
27 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
I bought "Don't Forget the Bacon" at a library book sale for $.25. It had been taped and rebound several times. At the time my daughter was 5 years old and my son was 2. We would curl up together and read it over and over each night. They loved to chime in: "...and don't forget the bacon." It remained a part of our bedtime story ritual for many years. When my son entered kindergarten, he insisted on taking it to share with his class for show-and-tell. Although it is quite worn out now, I kept it as a keepsake with some of their other childhood books and toys. My daughter is now a freshman at the University of Illinois at, and my son is a freshman at Marian Catholic High School. This Friday, I will be presenting a workshop on Shared Reading as part of an inservice training for the teachers in my school district. I immediately thought of "Don't Forget the Bacon" as the perfect read aloud book. My son eagerly help me find it, curled up in my lap, and insisted that I read it! We shared many fond memories that night. After calling several book stores to get a new copy, I was delighted to find it on the WEB. I'm looking forward to receiving the new book, but I'll still treasure the $.25 copy (which I have to retape again!) because of the joy of reading it instilled in my children.
Don't Forget the Bacon
7 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
I love all of Pat Hutchins books. I have been reading them to children for many years. Don't Forget the Bacon is lots of fun for children who are old enough to have to remember several things at once and know how hard that can be. I think it will be enjoyed most by children who are late pre-school through early elementary age.
A TRUE CLASSIC!

Me and my sister's read this book as children til it literally fell apart. One day, out of the blue I remembered this book while reading another childhood favorite (hop on pop by dr.seuss) to my [...] son. it is now a part of our bedtime ritual - he loves it!!! It is such a great feeling to see him enjoying the same things that i liked as a young child...
