Illustrated by
Anna Pignataro.
Odell chooses classic stories (e.g. Peter Pan, Treasure Island) and designs simple recipes inspired by select passages, characters, or themes. Just as Mowgli from The Jungle Book scavenged for his food, readers are instructed to gather oats, fruit, and nuts for a yummy bowl of muesli. Pignataro's illustrations are delicately detailed and reflect the timelessness of the included tales.
