   I had a mixed reaction to this book. Because it's a kids' cookbook, it contained a number of recipes where the end product seemed specifically designed to look cool to young children, such as an Eiffel Tower replica made from wafer cookies or English muffin pizza wedges topped to resemble the rat characters from the Ratatouille film. The Desserts section was largely made up of these 'kid pleaser' recipes. However, there were also a number of recipes that taught basic cooking skills and should ap I had a mixed reaction to this book.

Some of the more complicated recipes might even be well suited for young adults living away from home for the first time. The ranking system used to rate the difficulty level of each recipe will be a helpful addition for first time cooks. Also, several of the middle tier recipes provided simplified takes on classic French dishes such as crepes or Quiche Lorraine.

   This is a great cookbook for kids and their adults. Divided into five sections (breakfast, lunch, sides, dinner, desserts) with four to six recipes per section, all the recipes are easy to moderately easy to make, and you can involve the kids in making all of them to one extent or another (and some of them the kids can make all on their own once you've walked them through it once or twice!). Best of all, ALL of the recipes are something that you (adults and kids) will enjoy making -- and eating! This is a great cookbook for kids and their adults.

Not only is this one of the best children's cookbooks I ever seen, but it's also become one of my favorite cookbooks too.

   OK, so I'm a Disney nut and really loved this sweet little book with kid-friendly recipes. Good stuff if you have kiddies around. OK, so I'm a Disney nut and really loved this sweet little book with kid-friendly recipes. Good stuff if you have kiddies around.

   I had hoped this book would get my son interested in different foods but it really didn't. But it had a lot of fun recipes. I had hoped this book would get my son interested in different foods but it really didn't. But it had a lot of fun recipes.

   Simple and entertaining at the same time -- and, frankly, contains the best ratatouille recipe I've ever used. Simple and entertaining at the same time -- and, frankly, contains the best ratatouille recipe I've ever used.
