We have been reading lots of Eric Carle books for our author study. Friday for Funky Food, we read Pancakes, Pancakes by Eric Carle and made...YUP, pancakes.
After reading the book, we decided that we did not have to make pancakes like they did in the book. In the book, the boy had to thresh and grind the wheat, milk the cow, gather eggs, churn the butter, and other things. Thank goodness Martin's mom sent in Aunt Jemima pancake mix...just add water! But we still have to whisk it all together.
Then, Mrs. Martin got busy on the cooking. I had to throw some "flour" on my face to make it look harder than it was.
In the book, the boy ate his pancakes with strawberry jam. I couldn't believe I actually had some in the refrigerator. So almost everyone tried their pancakes with jam and syrup.
Nathaniel tried it both ways. He dipped his in the jam.
Emilee wanted jam on top of her pancake.
Caitlynn and Colton liked theirs with syrup best. Aiden just likes to eat!
