When my two-year-old son and I interacted with a book that asked him to identify whether certain foods were typically eaten for breakfast or dinner, he would become quite frustrated when it came to identifying pancakes. According to his experiences, pancakes were a dinner dish. When he selected pancakes as a dinner option, the book would buzz, signifying a wrong answer. I found myself having to explain to the confused toddler that neither his answer nor the book’s implication were wrong.
