5.0 out of 5 stars Written for kids, on their level, for their enjoyment, October 17, 2004

Not your average cookbook for children, Williams-Sonoma Kids Baking provides a basic course in baking written just for kids. The instructions are written at a child's reading level and include how to measure ingredients, correctly break eggs, beating ingredients, testing for doneness, etc. Even all the photographs are children doing the tasks.

The recipes were obviously chosen to be ones that children like to eat and include cookies, breads, pretzels, pizza, pies, and cake. Williams-Sonoma Kid's Baking is a great introduction to cooking that children can read their self and is highly recommended.

I traveled to a few different stores to puruse their cookbooks for kids. My children (3 & 5) love to cook and bake with me, and I was looking for a book with good pictures/illustrations, and recipes that were easy to make with them, but also good to eat. This one, found in a kitchen store, fit the bill. The pictures are lucious and plentiful and I can easily invite the children to pick a recipe by looking through the cookbook themselves at the pictures. The recipes are well written, and have render so far great results. I really like how that offer up a list of all items needed at the begining of each recipe. Great book for anyone wanting to bake with their young children or want to give a book to an older child ready to try on their own.

I just bought this book for my 3 year old and I to cook. This a wonderful book with excellent recipes and beautiful pictures. The book is pleasant and simple to understand. It provides nice photos of ingredients and shows kids doing the tasks. I love the simple, yet delicious recipes and it doesn't rush through the recipes -- gives lots of photos so your child can learn and get excited about cooking. I am buying more for my friends with children -- a wonderful gift!
