The Mother Goose Cookbook: Rhymes and Recipes for the Very Young

37 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-688-15242-2

(3) K-3 A cover and endpapers reminiscent of red-checked tablecloths set the tone for fourteen rhymes and related recipes--i.e., "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater" is paired with pumpkin muffins. Vibrant illustrations show cheery animals acting out the rhymes and include the finished cooking project. Illuminated letters begin each recipe. A ring binding holds the book flat while adults assist both new and more experienced cooks.
