Pancakes for Breakfast
by Tomie dePaola
Pancakes for Breakfast by Tomy dePaola is a picture only book that is full of charm. I highly recommend this book for children from 0-8. For infants and toddlers the use of pictures and storytelling by an adult makes this a fun book and a book you can have fun with. Use 1st person, use 2nd person, use 3rd person for storytelling and you change the story each time. The continuity of the pictures creates a perfect storyboard for telling the story straight from the pictures to giving the story basis for your own wild retelling. As children grow with the story they can give the concrete retelling or start to use it as a jumping off point for retelling of their own fun version. This book is truly a great book for giving your child a chance for differentiated vocabulary and the ability to use their own vocabulary.
I personally love the picture where she sees the pancakes fly away-my daughter always feels sad when we read that part but loves when she invites herself to the neighbors. It has been fun to experiment with ways in which we can graciously find a way to be invited over for pancakes.
