What Parents and Educators Say About the Book
This book is an absolute gem. My 9-year-old daughter is completely thrilled and wants to try every single recipe right away. She comes home from school, sits down, and gets completely absorbed in the beautiful pictures and lovely stories. I love this book!
A very beautiful and colorful book. We’ve already made one of the recipes with the kids — they loved it. Now I want to buy the next books in the series, and I’ve already ordered some for my friends. Highly recommend — it’s fun, engaging, and educational!
This book is a true little guide for the winter season, filled with a variety of poems, riddles, and activities. The kids were so excited to choose and prepare the treats! The simplicity of the recipes makes every child feel like a real chef. Such delicious memories are sure...
