This is one cookbook that I wish was still in print and one that I would most definitely love to add to my own cookbook library. Although the audience for the book is suppose to be children the recipes are easy and fun enough that a kitchen-loving adult may want to try some of them out such as making the clown ice cream cones or the carousel cake.

Each page has some sort of illustrations with it either being in black-and-white or in color while at the beginning of each section is a picture that has been done by a younger child. The artwork is cute and adorable while helps to emphasize some part of the name whether as a pun or an indirect implying of an ingredient.

The author uses small diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand what she means such as when she says to cut off something or to use a kitchen implement the reader may not be aware of. She also used the first four or five pages to go over kitchen terms and measurements so that no leaf has been left unturned.

With this cookbook in hand and a guiding adult hand, a child will be able to gain some wonderful skills as they learn their way in the kitchen.
