Stir, Squirt, Sizzle: A Nick Cookbook

Yes, this book grabs with bright colors and cartoon characters. Yes, the recipes are for basics, like jello with fruit, but I found it to be bright and fun. I'm a good cook, but my seven year old granddaughter is just beginning and I'm happy for her to make crispy chicken strips rather than buy them at the store. This is for kids young enough to need adult help with putting pans in the oven; don't expect something to tantalize a ten year old. And what better reason for stumbling through long words than to eat something delicious in the end?
