I have the perfect recipe for junior detectives: Nate the Great's Pancakes. The very same pancakes made by Nate the Great during the solving of all his mysteries.<\/p>\n

\"Nate<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I am posting a two for one Nate the Great fest. Over on Munofore I have a bunch of fun activities for aspiring young detectives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those of you not in the know Nate the Great is a marvelous series of books for young readers by Marjorie Sharmat.<\/a> Nate is a boy detective that solves such important mysteries for his friends as finding a Mushy Valentine, a Boring Beach Bag, and a six legged purple rubber octopus which was being used as third base.<\/p>\n

At least once in each story, usually when Nate is stumped, he makes himself pancakes. In Nate the Great and Me: The Case of the Fleeing Fang<\/a>, Nate reveals his \"secret pancake\" recipe, as well as one for Latkes and Strawberry Milk Shakes.<\/p>\n

So, I decided it was time for me to \"let it go\" and allow my 8 year old son to not only mix the batter, but actually cook the pancakes himself. He was nervous and so was I, but he did it!<\/p>\n
