Summary: A terrific book, not just for toddlers
Comment: I've used this book for years, from the time that my son was a toddler in a sugar-free pre-school (That was about 17 years ago) to the present time, when I cook sugar-free baked goodies for cancer patients. Many recipes have become family favorites. My copy is dog-earred and stained from much use. I love that the recipes use fruit juices and dried fruit as sweeteners, no chemical substitutes. We've also tried using gluten-free flours in many recipes, and they work just as well. It's a terrific book, good not just for toddlers, but for anyone who loves treats but wants to explore healthy, tasty alternatives. Thank you Susan!

Summary: Great for sugar sensitive families
Comment: We discovered that both my daughter and I are Sugar Sensitive and needed to start cutting refined sugars out of our diets. I got this book from the library and ended up using almost daily so I had to buy a copy. Many of the recipes use concentrated fruit juice or real fruit to sweeten things up. This cookbook saved me when I started cutting out sugar and allowed me to still look forward to baking!

Summary: Toddler LOVES the pumpkin muffins in this book!
Comment: I'm really glad to have this book. It's my favorite recipe book for baking with and for my toddler. Some of the recipes have been disappointing, though (because they taste rather bland), but some are really good. My suggestion would be to start these before your child ever tastes table sugar, and then they'd probably all taste good. The pumpkin muffins, called "Peter's Favorite Mini Muffins" are my 3 yr. old son's favorite. He'll eat 5 or more in a day, if I don't pay attention. I've found that they act like a laxative if he eats more than a couple. The handy thing is that we've substituted all kinds of ingredients (apple sauce combined with any fruit juice for the apple juice concentrate, other fruits for the raisins, etc.) and they still turn out great! We also like the Apple-Raisin Oatmeal Cookies. And the recipes are mostly easy to make and quick, which I really appreciate.

Summary: Delicious Recipes - easy to prepare!
Comment: This book is a blessing! All of the ingredients used are normal and easy to have on hand. The recipes are delicious. My five year old loves them and so do my husband and I. We are trying to eat real food and still maintain a healthy weight. This book is a great help!

Summary: Great recipes for kids
Comment: I almost wasn't interested in this book because the title made me think that this book would have bland and boring recipes. But after flipping through it I saw lots of things that sounded good to try. And almost every recipe so far has been a huge hit with my 18 month old son. This is amazing to me because I thought he was picky. I guess I just wasn't giving him the kind of foods he likes. This book is, as other critics have noted, NOT sugar free. Fruit juice is a sugar. But I do not consider this a drawback because I think that people who don't eat any sugar of any kind are kidding themselves. The key is to use healthy forms of sugar and not too much. The main reason I was anxious to try these recipes is that nearly all of them use whole-wheat flour or some other whole grain flour and I am a big believer in using whole grains. So nutritious and full of fiber. Best recipes so far that I can highly recommend: Orange-date snack cake, Pilgrim pancakes, and Toddler date bread stix. The Coconut Pineapple cookies, however, were not very good. They were not even remotely sweet enough and were more like a pancake than a cookie. But I heated them up and buttered them and my son ate them for breakfast! So really, what it comes down to is that toddlers DO like these recipes. My son prefers them over the white flour, preservative laced stuff from the store. You can't protect your kids from sugar their whole lives, so give them a healthy alternative.
