This is a lovely children's cookbook. Yes, it's fairly small, but it has 30 recipes--I wasn't expecting the Joy of Cooking for children or anything. My daughter wanted a fairy birthday party, and I used a number of the recipes--they were all delicious, and I saw more that we'll be trying in the future. I particularly liked the Magic Bonbon Cookies and the cupcakes decorated like mushrooms. What I also really like about the book is that you can have spring/summer or fall/winter themed recipes--nice, depending on what time of year your child's birthday is.

The recipes lean more heavily towards sweets, but there are savories in there as well. I think the book is especially appealing since kids love tiny food. The recipes would be fun to liven up an ordinary rainy-day tea party as well.

I recommend this one and am planning to order the Mermaid one as well!
