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.

A cookbook I wish I had when I was growing up.

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.

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.

What a great way to introduce a child to the pleasures of cooking.

Kiddos love it! Great way to introduce reading recipes.

My kids are cooking dinner this summer and this is the first cook book that we are using. We went through it and chose 9 recipes that looked and sounded good. So far they are. When we finish with this book, we will chose another.

I do happen to own this one, but have decided that I won't buy any more. Kids cookbooks just aren't justifiable price wise or storage space wise in my opinion. We will check out the rest from the library. (And keep them far from the cooking area.)

This is a cookbook for kids who need the "cartoonish" vibe in order to maintain their interest. This book uses a lot of "convenience" products in order to create the recipes, and for my family we use primarily from-scratch items. It does serve the purpose of getting children interested in cooking and has ideas for rounding out the meal with sides and desserts which is a nice feature.

Probably the best of the cookbooks I chose to channel my daughter's current interest in cooking. A good variety of recipes, including new things and familiar dishes. Enough there for beginners of a young age.

hey is like to cook like a pro read this .it contains food like a popcorn cake!
