Tyler Makes Pancakes! (Tyler Picture Books)
It starts with a grumbling tummy.
And a dream of something yummy.
What is it time for?
Pancakes
Tyler and his dog, Tofu, are hungry for blueberry pancakes.
They are "so" good to eat--all fluffy and juicy and hot. But the real fun is making them.
First you need a chicken, a cow, a few blueberry bushes, some special trees, and lots of mixing, flipping, and topping.

Tyler, is a little boy who dream of pancakes when he wakes up he decides to surprise his parents with pancakes for breakfast and heads out on his bike with his dog Tofu. [ hmm.... young child heading out on bike while parents sleep to buy ingredients for pancakes??]
Mr. Jones from the local market gives Tyler an education as to where all the ingredients for pancakes come from -- eggs, wheat, butter, milk, map...more
1.5 stars -- Tyler wakes up with a serious pancake craving, so he goes to the grocery store to purchase all of the ingredients he needs. As Tyler chooses each ingredient, the grocer explains where each item comes from. Tyler's dog, Tofu (cute name) tags along.
Eggs sold in the grocery store are shown as coming from a little flock of chickens who peek out of a cute farmyard henhouse. You don't have to hold a degree in agriculture to know that that's about as likely as the Keebler elves being real....more

This is such a charming book. Tyler Florence, a Food Network star, finally writes for children, and people like me. He even includes his recipe for blueberry pancakes at the end of the book! The great thing bout this is that it isn't just a kids book per se it's an informational book as well. But it's not patronizing, and it tells children where the ingredients of the pancakes come from in a most delightful way. With introductions to the chicken who lays the eggs, to the farmer who milks the cow...more
This one is all about where our food comes from, and only one part made me go "hmmmmmm". Tyler wants to make pancakes, so he goes to the market. He finds out that eggs come from chickens, and buttermilk doesn't have butter in it, but it's what's left over after you make butter. Mr. Jones from the market tells Tyler about flour being ground from wheat, and maple syrup is boiled sap - and then he gives Tyler some bacon. No explanation. Well, I wouldn't want to explain in a picture book where bacon...more
Really, 3.5 stars. I liked this book much more than I thought I would. The story is simplistic and straightforward, but what I like is that it presents the concept of where our food comes from in an engaging way (albeit, slightly idealized). I like that the book ends with the recipe and even more information about the ingredients, such as nutritional benefits. I didn't love the artwork. The blue outlines around everything are distracting to me, but the overall composition was pleasing.
Not horrible, but in the grand tradition of most celebrity-written picture books, a bit didactic. The descriptions of where each pancake ingredient came from were a bit longer than needed in a picture book. And why, when Tyler asked where the chickens were, was he told to imagine? He got an explanation for everything else!
Celebrity chef Tyler Florence writes a picture book for little kids in which mini-Tyler makes pancakes, learning about where all of the ingredients come from, and including a recipe for Tyler's blueberry pancakes. Yummy and easy for the little ones to understand where their food comes from.
Perfect for sequencing! Tyler wants to know about each ingredient in pancakes, where can he find the information? On a trip to Mr. Joe’s Market, Tyler finds his ingredients and so much more. It is a fun read and has a great recipe for Tyler's Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes! Yummm!
This is a cute book about where ingredient come from to make pancakes. You mean to tell me eggs don't come from the grocery store?? Cute and simple explanations about where thing come from like who eggs comes from the farm, maple syrups comes from tree etc etc
A lot of complaints about this book when you read through the comments and reviews, but I liked it. I thought it was a cute book, even despite a few minor flaws relating to where food comes from. Still a cute book. And made me want to eat pancakes.
Follow Tyler and his lovable four-legged friend, Tofu, as they embark on a culinary adventure in Tyler Makes Pancakes! written by the Master Chef Tyler Florence with delightful signature illustrations by Craig Frazier.

Charming story about a boy wanting to make breakfast for his family. Loved the illustrations, especially his chef's toque. Nice education for kids on where our ingredients come from, and the recipe for the pancakes is included too!
I love Tyler Florence, I love what he has done for children's food and education both at home and in the school systems. His education has been really a blessing to many and his cooking shows are humorous and make cooking fun and enjoyable, less than a chore. This book is cute and creative. It's like stick-figures with extreme personality and color and I like it. Take something like a pancake recipe and dissect it and explain visually for a kid what all the ingredients are and where they come fr...more
Adorable. And hunger-inducing. Be sure to slot in time for a trip to the grocery store after reading this one, because you'll have to make Tyler's pancakes immediately afterward.
The story of young Tyler Florence learning where his ingredients come from. As celebrity children's books go, it's not terrible. But I wouldn't read it again.
Food book that might be fun when read before breakfast. Gives recipe and traces the ingredients. For a younger crowd than How to Make an Apple Pie nd See The World.
*Full Review to Come*
Short and sweet: Cute book about cooking and pancakes. A little long and wordy for kiddos younger than six years old.

Terrific picture book for kinder/PYP with investigation into how things are made, inquiry questions, etc. Cute and delicious.
For any young kid who thinks pancakes come from a box, or the freezer ... an excellent way to introduce cooking!
Blue outlines. Limited palette. Simple line style. Minimal shading.
Prose text follows ingredients to their origins.

Fantastic book for kids! Shows them that what is behind the food on their plate in a fun way!
There was potential, but the author gets too bogged down in the "teaching" parts of the story.
Cute idea, but the writing seemed heavy-handed, it lacked an effortlessness, and the story seemed a little too contrived.
I did like that they talk about where the food comes from beyond the super-market.
Unfortunately the book contains a factual error concerning the production of maple syrup.
I love this book and my kids love it too. What a fun read!
Nolan thinks Tofu the dog is hilarious.
