Children's Literature

Part of a new series, "Fun Food for Cool Cooks" these handsome titles are going to jump into the hands of kids (and grownups) because of the simple recipes, easy directions (usually one sentence per step), large print, enticing photographs of the finished food attractively presented, and a tone that says to kids, "You can DO this!" Every recipe has a star-rating from one to three to show difficulty, a list of ingredients (in small print, however), and pictures in each recipe of the tools to be used during the preparation (a first in cookbooks!). The recipes are titled enticingly and closely fit the theme of each cookbook. Each book includes Facthound.com information, a glossary, an index, a quick bio of the author (in a toque), a few books to lead kids into more reading, and a standard picture book trim size that will draw in older readers as well as the targeted age group (elementary) because of the photos. In this salad treasury you will find recipes for "Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle Salad" ( a pasta and tuna affair), "Rainbow Fruit Salad" (mixed berry compote in a tall glass), "Sweet Summer Potato Salad" (it has grapes in it as well as chow mein noodles), "Candy Bar Salad" (apples are the only living thing in this one), "Pepperoni Pizza Salad" (lettuce instead of pizza crust), "Mexican Fiesta Salad" (taco salad), "Triple Cheese and Macaroni Salad" (mac and cheese with tomatoes), "Apple and Worm Salad" (it has an apple as the container and a gummy worm hanging out), "Creamy Dreamy Cloud Salad" (fruit cocktail and Cool Whip with a few other ingredients), and last but not least, "Asian Chicken Salad" (with ramen and chicken nuggets). Every recipe also includes a sidebar of "tasty tips" toadd variations or some nice little trivia tidbit kids will like. The "Kitchen Safety" section at the front of each book is conversational and sensible and encourages kids to actually DO things. Unlike many cookbooks, it advises kids to have a First Aid kit in the kitchen too. The front page features a kid photo alongside metric conversions (does anybody ever USE these, I wonder?). These are among the most attractive cookbooks for kids I have seen and would be appropriate for elementary, middle, and early high school readers with nary a complaint from a kid.
