From the Highly Scientific Notebooks of Phineas L. MacGuire series.
Illustrated by
Preston McDaniels.
In his fourth book, fourth-grade scientist Phineas, called Mac, is put in charge of cooking family dinners. It takes a while to figure things out; lively black-and-white illustrations show Mac's attempts (peanut-butter bacon brownies?). Nemesis Aretha "helps" Mac see the connection between cooking and science, also straightening him out about his sexist ideas regarding girls and cooking. The only thing missing is recipes.
