Customer Rating: Summary: Not so great... Comment: I don't care for books that give the evolution story as our beginning so I am not really thrilled with this book. The book itself is okay and interesting. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for a kids' book club Comment: My daughter's book club is made up of 8 first and second graders. I picked this book because first of all - everyone likes cookies, right? Secondly, the information and science behind the ingredients was cool, interesting, and well-explained. The girls got a kick out of reading the different ingredient pages and took turns reading the animals' parts as we made a batch of cookies. Plenty of challenging words for the age group, and everyone learned something new, including the parents. Customer Rating: Summary: What a fun book for kids... and adults alike! Comment: Having 3 kids of my own, we're always on the look out for books that not only the kids like, but we as parents like as well. This book is one such book. Not only is it fun, but it's full of fun facts. We first checked this out from the local library, and my kids loved it. We bought it from Amazon to add it to our collection, and I don't think it's been back on the shelf.
We even made the cookies as directed by the book, which the kids thought was amazing (we adjusted for altitude...). Customer Rating: Summary: What a clever approach! Comment: I love to cook with my kids and my friends' kids, but we never step back to think what went into the ingredients. This cute book is filled with fascinating details about where butter, chocolate and salt come from that will be a delight to share the next time we bake cookies. What a great way to help young people see the broader impact of our daily lives!
