Horn Book
Kids will like serving up these easy-to-make, creatively named (e.g., "funky crunchy mallow balls," "hot dog bugs") treats for parties. Each book includes ten recipes (mostly sweet), appetizingly shown in close-up photos. Directions are in numbered steps that are clear and child-friendly; difficulty level is also indicated. Kitchen safety rules and labeled pictures of tools round out the volumes. Rating: 3: Recommended, satisfactory in style, content, and/or illustration.
