My 7 year old son is into cooking and this was our 4th children's cook book we have bought and by far THE BEST! It is unisex for both boys and girls. It explains the basics so well that I wish I had started with this cook book. The start of the book has information on cooking terms and meanings, kitchen safety, pictionary of tools, measuring, recipe reading and healthy cooking. Recipes are child oriented like "Football Meatloaf" and "Crazy Pet Muffins." The pages are bright and colorful. It is a MUST buy for a budding chef!

I love the cartoons and kidfriendly recipes, but the ridiculous stress on fat-free everything is sad to see. Fat doesn't make you fat, people. It's actually a necessary building block for every cell in our bodies. In order to make a product fatfree, chemical additives take the fat's place. Not a positive nutritional step for growing bodies. I wouldn't have bought the book, had I known this.

Cute titles for each of the recipes, appealing to both boys and girls.
My grandsons are the chefs so the book is not too girly for them.
Ingredients are simple and easy to find.
The book also teaches basic cooking skills, utensils and cooking terms.
There are recipes for every meal and goodies, too.

I was hoping for more basic recipes that kids will really eat...at least my kid. I realize the trend now is toward healthy eating and getting kids to do that but a smoothie with flaxseed and tofu doesn't really appeal to my 7 year old. She says she likes the book though and plans to make a few things and she may grow into some of the recipes. It's OK but the Betty Crocker 1957 cookbook that was handed down to her is much more basic and I believe a better book.

This cookbook is vibrantly colorful. There are some themed pages. For instance, there are some recipes which can be used on Halloween and the colors suite the holiday. The characters throughout the book are in costume for the holidays as well. It is a really great start for kids to start cooking. We know cooking can be a chore but this book makes it super super fun. :)

I think the lowfat obsession unhealthy, especially for children. Most of these recipes end up not really being lowfat as in making a lowfat version of chocolate cupcakes and then sticking a peanut butter cup in the middle of them. They also are extraordinarily high in sodium. I also feel the whole thing is very strange, as in banana pancakes with kiwi and orange slices. I don't feel the ingredients are on hand either, our store doesn't even carry fresh mangoes! I think chocolate cupcakes with pitted prunes and rice crispy treats with dried cranberries are a bit strange....I also find it very wasteful and expensive as in you buy a can of blackbeans and only use a third of it or buy a bag of coleslaw mix and then only use half a cup. For the focus on health which they seem to be trying to do with their lowfat everything (cream cheese, salad dressing, etc) I find their focus on unhealthy processed, preservative full and sodium laden mixes to be a bit strange....Like another reviewer has already said, this has got to be the worst cookbook ever....

I gave this to my granddaughter for Christmas and she was using it immediately! She feels so important having her own cookbook! Hard back makes it durable and photos are great!

The Junior Cookbook is very popular with the 5 and 6 year-olds for whom it was a gift. The recipes aren't too complicated and the children like it.
