Customer Reviews

Hey, Pancakes! is a hit!!!

A few months ago my son had the opportunity to attend a book reading by Tamson Weston and we purchased an autographed copy of Hey, Pancakes. It has become the FAVORITE in our house. The simplicity of the story is captivating for my kids, even my 2 year old has memorized the words. In this day and age of high tech tv, computers and video games it's nice to curl up with a book the whole family loves! As the last sentence in the book states 'Let's go out into the world and give a pancake(or panshake as my two year old says!) cheer!' Tamson Weston has a winner with this book!!!

Wonderful Granchild Entertainment

I bought this book as part of my weekend entertainment plan for my 6 year old grandson. The stay was a success! I think, in great part, due to our sunday morning "Pancake Party". We read Hey Pancakes! the night before, I had pre-purchased the ingredients with, of course, real maple syrup and then we reviewed the recipe in the back of the book and discussed what and why of each ingredient and even had a little lesson in measuring. It was great fun for both Grandpa and Grandson. I think it'll be a weekend that'll be remembered.

A Delicious Book

Hey Pancakes by Tamson Weston, is a charming and delightful book for early readers. As an educator of young children ,I found my group squealing with delight as they got into the fun rhythm of the story. The imagination of the reader is spiked as he relates to the "pancake toll" The book is lively,and even the nonreader chimes in on the second reading as he anticipates the comfortable and natural rhyme. The whimsical ilustrations are very much in keeping with the spirit of the text. This book is a winner, and will delight young readers for years to come. I look forward to many more book from this very talented new author.P.S. The pancake recipe was yummy, and we did get our fingers sticky.

A Messy Fun Book!

Tamson Weston's snappy and lyrical verse of this breakfast adventure make it a "fun read" for pancake lovers of all ages. Stephen Gammell's illustrations that look to have been created with a smattering of tinted pancake batter, add to the yummy chaos of what's going on with the kids(and dog) in the kitchen. Reading this book almost makes it seem like getting up in the morning is a fun thing to do. My kids who are much older than the intended reading age level of this book thought it was cool. I think I should head into the kitchen right now and whip up a batch of flapjacks from that Weston Pancake Mix. Yum!

Fun book!

This book really appealed to me because I always remember those mornings when I'd wake up and smell pancakes being made in the kitchen. That's the exact premise of this fun picture book. I have a three year old and a five year old and they both love it. We've made pancakes two Sundays in a row and they know the rhymes by heart now.
