Annotation: Organized in chapters by the months of the year, and centered around typical American holidays and celebrations, this paperback contains simple recipes which most elementary-age children could prepare with adult supervision in a household kitchen or in a classroom. Each recipe is accompanied by an excerpt from a popular children’s book and a craft, with a short list of related books to read. There are simple line drawings at the beginning of each chapter to show an animal or item associated with the theme of the month. The Introduction contains safety tips and reminds the (student) reader to work with an adult. It also recommends full menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a picnic. The appendices are: “High-Altitude Adjustments” and “Measuring Accurately.” There is a Glossary of Cooking Terms, a Blibliography and an Index. The reading level is upper elementary (with the participation of responsible adults).
Rationale: Reading, cooking, activities, and more reading – all to celebrate…whatever. What’s not to like?
