I purchased this book to use with my preschool class, but upon receipt discovered that it was too advanced for them. Wanted to return it, but Amazon said it was easier for me to keep the book and them to credit my account. I have 6 year old "grandtwins", so may pass it along to them. I was unable to look inside the book on the site before I ordered it. This might have saved some aggravation.

I purchased this book to include in my 3-year old daughter's easter basket, and she loves it! The book format is large, which gives her plenty of room to draw (though it almost didn't fit in the basket!), and watching her creations take shape is very rewarding. Since she can't read yet, I read her the "ingredients", and she draws her interpretation of them. The book provides an excellent lesson in following directions, one step at a time, while promoting creativity. It is so much more than a traditional coloring book and a nice change from the typical "blank sheet of paper" coloring time we usually promote in our home. I highly recommend this book and believe it would be appropriate for most children ages 3-6.

I am an elementary school librarian and I used this book to complement stories in which food is an important element. My students made the pasta salad and triangle cake. I did use a document camera and a smartboard so that I could demonstrate. It is also important to draw a big circle for each student- at least for the youngest students. If you don't, some students will have plates the size of a golf ball and will not have room for the recipe instructions. They have plenty of original drawing to do - what with the place setting. For the pasta salad, I told them if they finished early to make a cupcake or ice cream sundae next to the plate for dessert. I also adapted the instructions in a few places- leaving some instructions out to make it easier for kindergarten. They were very proud of their creations!
