This week’s BBR- Book Barn Review is one of my favorite
books by Eric Carle also the author of the super popular kid’s book the Hungry
Hungry Caterpillar. Pancakes,
Pancakes! is a great book to share
with kids who are struggling with where their food really comes from. I believe all kids should know where their
food begins.
Jack wakes up in the morning and informs his mother he wants
a big pancake for breakfast. His mother
is already busy with her day’s work and says he must help her. She asks him to cut the wheat and take it to
the mill to be made into flour.
He must collect an egg and milk the cow and then churn the
butter.
There is even a recipe to help the kids make their own
pancakes.
This is a great book to use in the classroom. The Farmer and I love to show kids how to
take a head of wheat in our hand to separate the seeds from the chaff. The kids are always amazed when we show them
the seeds.
My Flat Aggie Post from Heim Dairy is a great way for kids
to see dairy cows on a real dairy.
Churning butter can be done easily even in a preschool class. Here is the lesson from Oklahoma Ag In theClassroom.

Do you have a favorite farm, ranch or where food comes from book that you would like to share?
-A Kansas Farm Mom
We love "Macaroni and Cheese, Hot Dogs and Peas". By Christine Hickson. It not only tells about how food comes from the farm, it also tells how without God we would have no food. Of course we always have macaroni and cheese when we read it :)
