故事中的媽媽給了小男孩一張買菜的清單---六個蛋、一個蛋糕、一磅的梨子，最後還特別叮嚀他別忘了培根！小男孩一路走著走著，看著沿途的風景，一面回憶媽媽的清單。「六隻肥腿、一個蛋糕、一磅梨子、別忘了培根」、「六隻肥腿、一件披風、一磅梨子、別忘了培根」、、、到了雜貨店，變成了「六隻衣夾、一個耙子、一堆椅子」！他不斷的弄錯清單，最後在往家裏走的時候，好不容易又慢慢的想起清單的內容，但是最後還是忘了最後一項---培根！！作者以韻文的方式來描寫整個故事，讀者很容易朗朗上口，同時書中小男孩的健忘跟心不在焉也讓人可以感覺到作者幽默的筆觸。老師可以參閱下列網站相關教學資源。(http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/go/wil/Don’t_Forget_the_Bacon_Activity_Card.pdf)As a boy sets out for the store, his mother reminds him, "Six farm eggs, a cake for tea, a pound of pears, and don't forget the bacon." On his way he repeats, "Six fat legs, a cape for me, a flight of stairs, and don't forget the bacon." Or was it "six clothes pegs, a rake for leaves, a pile of chairs, and don't forget the bacon"? Well, at least he was sure to remember the bacon! A simple trip to the grocery store becomes complicated when a boy mixes up his shopping list---again and again and again.
