A truly terrific book for any young child who is interested in helping in the kitchen! It is full of colorful illustrations, recipes, fun facts, and scientific principles about food and nutrition. It is teeming with tasty ideas and fun hands-on learning experiences that will get children playing, discovering everyday science, and cooking up a storm. 

Look I'm A Cook is full of tasty recipes that provide a great variety of fun, healthy, kid-friendly foods, made with ingredients you probably have on hand.

From guacamole to ice pops, to chocolate pears; kids can pour it, mix it, and taste it. Each recipe becomes an ever-so-exciting experiment (we have it under good authority that anyone will find the crunchy Vegetable Stick Train irresistibly adorable - and it goes really well with the homemade guacamole).
