I remember liking this book as a child and after re-reading it I still like it today! One great thing about this book is that it has "life-size" pictures of the food and the cooking utensils. These pictures are labeled so that students can learn their names. The first couple of pages featured "Cooks Tools" like a picture of a bowl labeled "small bowl". I also liked this book because it has simple recipes that children can make with their parents and can decorate themselves, such as cookie recipes and examples of decorations like sprinkles and pictures that show what the cookies look like decorated! Another reason I enjoyed this book is because the names of the recipes are called "Silly Sundaes", "Cheesy Potato Boats" and "Party Pizzas". I feel like this made the recipes seem more approachable and fun for children to attempt and get comfortable cooking! I think the big idea of this book was that cooking can be fun for kids, and it should encourage kids to get into the kitchen and enjoy themselves! ( )
