Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wish Amazon didn't consider 3 stars a negative review because this is not a negative review. I consider 3 stars average, and I give this nice book a slightly better than average grade of 3 1/2 stars.
Why not five stars? A few reasons. For instance, the pictures are great, but there isn't a photo of every recipe, a big mistake in a book for kids. And in many cases the picture of the dish is on the next page - not where the recipe starts. Also a mistake in a book for kids.
Which brings me to my big question: is this a book for kids or isn't it? I don't think the publishers could decide, either. It isn't written "down" to kids' level, and although the first "rule" listed is to not make everything complicated and just enjoy the process, the rest of the "rules" go on for two pages. Very adult-oriented.
But the colors are kid-appealing, and there's that "kids" in the title. And the author's darling daughter is in most photos, as are other kids.
So it's a book for kids with an adult cooking with them, I think.
About the recipes: nice, good, but nothing groundbreaking, unless you think adding crushed cornflakes to chocolate chip cookies makes them a whole new dessert.
Recommendation: A nice enough book, and very attractive. But only a 3 1/2 star rating, because nothing really distinguishes this book from the thousands of other cookbooks out there.
