My First Baking Book (Bialosky & Friends)

Rating:
Summary: Great gift idea!
Review: I found this book in our local library and used it to create a cooking project for a group of multi-age children. We tried the Thumbprint Cookies with great success. Using it gave me a great idea for a birthday gift and I've subsequently ordered several copies at Amazon.

The classic recipes are well-illustrated, easy-to-read and follow, and yummy. I especially liked the numbered step-by-step directions which are easy for children to read themselves. All the recipes feature multiple illustrations and begin with a list of needed utensils as well as ingredients. The author also covers safety issues involving the oven and stove.

After using it for my project I decided to give it, along with a kid-size apron, as a gift for a six-year-old girl. This book offers children and their parents lots of opportunities for fun and learning and will outlast any toy!
