Who loves pancakes for breakfast?

We all do! Pancakes for Breakfast will be a treat for your youngsters.

This wordless book will delight young readers. Once they know the storyline, they are free to reread and retell Pancakes for Breakfast as often as they like.

Based on a farm, Pancakes for Breakfast shows the old-fashioned steps for making pancakes, from getting the eggs from the hens, to making the butter from the milk that was just previously secured from the cow. The surprise ending, after all of that work for fresh pancakes, is a fun twist.

Dig out those beaters and cooking supplies.

KID KANDY:

You know it. Make pancakes for breakfast!

There are many pancakes choices available for us in current times. One recipe is included on the pages of a cookbook featured in a page illustration from Pancakes for Breakfast. Or check your favorite cookbook. Or use a pancake mix. Or go out to a restaurant for pancakes. You can even choose different toppings or ingredients to include in the batter - chocolate chips, bacon, cheese, or whatever meets your fancy.

The most important thing about making pancakes - let your child be right in the middle of the pouring, mixing, stirring, and eating. That's right. They will love you for it.

What's that you say? Messy? Well, of course it is. But you can just enlist your little helpers to lend a hand for the cleanup when the pancakes have mysteriously disappeared into hungry tummies.

There is nothing better for young children (or children of any age) than hands-on experience. Here is your chance to prepare them for college and living on their own.

Everyone needs to know how to make pancakes!
