Review:
This book is so much more than just a recipe book for kids! There is SO much learning potential here with every page! Each of the 120 recipes shows the state is is from, along with the state abbreviation, and then you have a fun fact, plus the recipe. So after your item is baking/chilling, you can talk about and google for more info on your fun fact and learn even more! It's like a mini learning session every day. Add in some math from halfing or doubling the recipe, and you have a perfect way to keep kids learning ALL Summer,, by making one or two recipes every day! What a great concept! Plus it's great for kids who can't travel, to see how people in other parts of the country eat and what is unique about areas they haven't been too! Maybe it will instill a thirst fr travel? Who knows, but it is a fun book for all ages!
