Don't Forget the Bacon!
''Don't Forget the Bacon!'' is a children's book written and illustrated by Pat Hutchins. It was published by Bodley Head in 1976. The story is about a little boy who tries to memorise a list of groceries his mother has asked him to buy. The book has been used as a teaching tool to instruct children about early learning concepts.
In an analysis of teaching tools for remedial readers, Maurice Saxby notes in the book ''Books in the Life of a Child: Bridges to Literature & Learning'', "Hutchins's ''Don't Forget the Bacon'' has been one of my most successful texts." Andrea Hillbrick's ''Tuning in with Task Cards'' includes a teaching lesson structured around the boy's shopping list from the story. The book ''Foundation Blocks'' suggests ''Don't Forget the Bacon!'' be used to teach children about the concept of miscommunication, and ''Bilinguality and Literacy'' lists the story among those used to help assist a bilingual child develop fluency in English.
''Don't Forget the Bacon!'' was a success in England and the United States, and received positive reception from the American Library Association, and ''The Washington Post''. The story was recommended in 2005 as part of a children's reading challenge announced by the Education Minister for New South Wales, Australia, and included in suggested reading by ''The Times'' as part of the 2008 recognition of World Book Day.
==Plot==
The story is about a little boy who leaves his home with his dog to shop for food items for his mother, and attempts to remember the list of things she wanted him to buy. The original request from his mother is for "six farm eggs, a cake for tea, a pound of pears, and don't forget the bacon." Along with the dog, he is accompanied on his trip by a butterfly. In order to avoid forgetting items, the boy recites his mother's list to himself. Throughout his trip to the store, the boy sees items along the way that play tricks with his memory, and items on his list one-by-one become substituted with other goods – "six farm eggs" initially becomes "six fat legs", then "six clothes pegs". By the end of his trip, the boy has forgotten the initial items requested, and supplants them in his mind with "six clothes pegs, a rake for leaves, a pile of chairs, and don't forget the bacon." A merchant in a junk shop assists the boy in compiling this odd list. While travelling back to his home, he remembers the original items and corrects his mistakes. However, he still forgets to acquire bacon. The final panel depicts the child carrying a basket and a coin purse, taking his dog attached to a leash, ''en route'', probably to purchase the bacon.
