K-Gr 4--Designed for the youngest cooks to work alongside their parents or for tweens to take pots in hand independently, this is a slightly above-average cookbook. For breakfast, kids can cook a classic cheese omelet or get fancy with chilaquiles. Young adventurous eaters will appreciate lunch options, which include veggie wraps with goat cheese, lemon-pepper chicken salad, and tomato soup with cupid croutons. A favorite spread for kids is sure to be the two-page recipe for "Best-Ever Hot Cocoa." While there are a few vegetarian options, most main dish meals rely on animal proteins. Skill levels vary with some recipes simply requiring throwing four ingredients in a blender to mixing, roasting, slicing, chopping, and tossing up to 13 ingredients. The book is delightful to flip through with lovely full-color photographs, peppy illustrations, and welcoming fonts. Sprinkled throughout are a few photos of a diverse group of children, aged approximately seven to 11, demonstrating cooking or eating. VERDICT Visually pleasing, though not much different from other cookbooks. Consider based on collection needs.--Heather Acerro, Rochester Public Library, MN
