This book would be good for 2nd or 3rd grade. It is a little boring, but teaches hard work. It would be good to send a recipe home to the parents and encourage them to let the student help make a giant pancake before or after reading this book.

A wee bit long for storytime, a boy wants pancakes for breakfast but he must accomplish all the tasks to make pancakes first, grind the wheat, milk the cow, churn the butter. In the end he gets yummy pancakes.

This is a cute book, but some of it is too advanced for a 24 month old. The wordless, "Pancakes for Breakfast" is better.

This is a book about a boy in some gone time who runs all around to make a pancake (just one?) for breakfast. His mother tells him what to do every step of the way - he has to cut, thresh, and mill the wheat; he must feed the chicken and get an egg; he must milk a cow and churn the cream; and then

it's all mixed together to make a pancake. There's no mention of baking powder or baking soda, so I'm guessing this takes place before the Civil War.

This not one of the books by Eric Carle that has simple text and is suited for preschoolers. This is one of his longer, more detailed books for older children. Do not expect your baby to get much out of it. Your kindergartener, though, may be totally fascinated at the effort it takes to make a single breakfast!

Retelling: Jack wanted a pancake for breakfast, but he had to start from scratch. This book follows the making of Jack's pancake from grain, milk, butter, and eggs to mixing, stirring and frying.

Thoughts and Feelings: I feel oddly comforted knowing where my food comes from.

ingredients together and to mix them, making the pancake batter. Throughout this book it teaches sequential order and could be used to a how to book for making pancakes. I enjoyed that the setting and time of the book was not placed in a modern day society because it gives the reader an idea of how pancakes were made in the past. If I were to read this book aloud, I would bring in mini pancakes and different flavors of jam to have my students eat after we read the story aloud. The students would be able to eat the pancakes while completing an assignment, which could be writing their own mini how to book on how to prepare a certain food.
