My four year old son and I have been baking together since he was about 13 months. We find these recipies fun to do and quick and relatively easy. The only tiny catch is that a few of the ingredients (and only one or two ingredients in one or two recipies) are a bit hard to find in the States.

The goal of cooking with one's child is, as expressed by the author of the book, to assist that child in eventually eating and appreciating regular food. That is a laudable goal. To that end, then, it would be helpful if this book included more regular food. Perhaps not the roasts and casseroles of which the author speaks (although, then again, why not), but, alas, the recipes in this book are mostly for *very* sugary confections.

The photographs are lovely, with a diverse range of children, boys and girls, shown enjoying themselves in the kitchen.

It would have been helpful if the book included more items with a lower sugar content -- both savory baked items and baked sweets without heavy frostings and candy coatings (which virtually all of them are). These might make baking a more frequent and healthy affair.
