Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6 - Beery has attempted to create a fun and whimsical cookbook for children, but her effort falls short in terms of practicality and usability. The packaging is appealing; full-page, close-up photos feature an abundance of sugary pastel colors, and the book comes with an actual child-size chef's hat. However, the recipes are uneven, ranging from crafty (coating food with chocolate and sprinkles) to complicated (a version of baked Alaska - minus the flames and alcohol). Most include pre-made foods like frozen pie crusts, cake mixes, refrigerator biscuits, or pound cake. Although the crafts look beautiful in the photographs, some children may find the visual introduction of ingredients confusing. Jane Bull's The Cooking Book (DK, 2002) is a better choice. - Genevieve Gallagher, Murray Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA
