This is a fun cookbook to have in the house. The kids love that they hve their own, and they love the way it is set up. It is nice to have recipes that they not only love the way they taste, but that they get to help make it as well. A big hit at our house.

A gift from my Grandmother Johnson. I learned a lot from this book and even then...realized that there was a bit too much sweet stuff in the book. It was fun though with things for kids...and brilliant pictures and directions. My favourite was cottage cheese with a pinapple ring and a banana sticking out of the centre. I made family dinner of tuna and pea casserole with cheese instead of potato chips on top... I have given the book to my grandaughter Kimberly Keogh of Sydney, NSW

The recipes are good but the obnoxious full-page illustrations are seizure-inducing.

This is an awesome cookbook--it was my first (I got it when I was three years old). The recipes, which cover everything from appetizers to desserts, are simple and fun, and not always incredible, but definitely satisfying. I think the most-used recipe in this book has been snickerdoodles.

Better Homes & Gardens New Junior Cook Book, 128 pages. COOK BOOK. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018. $18. 9781118146064

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL, MS - OPTIONAL.

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

This cook book is full of illustrations and divided into five sections: superpower breakfasts, feel-the-beat lunches, sportin’-around suppers, fast-fueling snacks, and make-believe desserts. Before the recipes there is a lengthy section on safety, tips, terms, and techniques. Each recipe in this spiral bound book gets a two page spread and includes the recipe, illustrations, photographs of the food, and cooking tips.

This book is very welcoming with bright illustrations, but the photographs of the food aren’t very appealing. My kids weren’t interested in very many recipes because there is a lot of mixing of different foods. For example, the mac and cheese recipe has broccoli in it and the meatloaf muffins have potatoes on them. The recipes have so many vegetables in them that it seems tailored more to adults who are cooking for kids, not to kids trying to get excited about cooking. The recipes themselves aren’t very complicated, but several tasks are grouped together so there are fewer steps, making it a bit hard to follow.
