As mundane as these settings are, the true charm of the series lies with the titular character.

She surprises and amuses her friends and neighbors with her antics, often getting into a little bit of trouble along the way. When it comes to baking, going shopping on your own for the first time and partying hard with your newly animal-stickered wood blocks, there is no better person to turn to than Yotsuba to make your day a little brighter.

Okay, Camp! Um, I'm Yotsuba, and I'm teaching you how to make pancakes today. There was gonna be a different teacher, but on Tuesday he got sick... It's okay, he's been eating a lot of soup, so I'm sure he'll get better soon! I've never been a teacher before, but I'm pretty good with cakes, and I'm super-good at cracking eggs, so I think you'll find that I'm more than kal... qwal... kolif... I'm good at stuff!
First, we need to make the batter. I know it looks hard, but it's not really! It’s easy with this pancake mix I bought from the supermarket! It's tough to open with your hand, so you gotta use scissors to cut it open. If it spills, it's okay; you just put it back in! Just don't spill it on the floor, otherwise you gotta put it back in in three seconds, and that's tough to do. Now pour it into the bowl, like this... Easy!
This is the first kinda-tricky part. We gotta put the milk in this cup with the numbers on the side, so it fills up to the right number. The number is on the box, but there are a lot of numbers on the box... Maybe it's this o-- no, that's not it... um... Just fill it up halfway! Milk is tasty, so if there's extra it should be okay. Now we need one egg cracked for each... You guys don't look so good at eggs, but it's alright! I'm a master at this, so I'll show you. You gotta lift it up like this, and then bring it down on the edge... WHA-POW! Like that! I'll show you as many times as you want, so keep the eggs coming!
So the final step before we put them in the pan is... stirring. It should be easy for you, since you have strong arms I think... Use the Woosher-- that’s this metal thing that looks like a net-- to stir it round and round, until it's soft and poofy. Once it's done, you take this big spoon, and get some of the batter in it. You pour down a bit, so it looks nice and round in the skill-ette, and wait until it gets bubbly... then, FLIP!!!

It... it got stuck... on the ceiling...
A-and so, put your plate under it and wait! It'll fall soon... probably...
