Book Cooks: 26 Step-By-Step Recipes Inspired by Favorite Children's Books

This book has easy and fun to make recipes for the classroom with no cooking required. I like the step-by-step directions with visual illustrations. It also includes literature connections, poems, songs, and theme related extension activities. Each child assembles their own portion so there is no sharing of germs. No heat source is required. I've tried several recipes with my special education class (k-2) and my students have enjoyed them, and they have been easy for my students to prepare and clean up. Some recipes are fairly nutritious, but others contain ingredients that are sugary or have artificial flavors and color.

This was a great book, I used it everyday teaching and working at a daycare. The little kids loved the stories and songs that went along with the cook experiment. It was nice not having to cook anything, everything you make can be done in the classroom. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. It is a great teachin tool.
