This is a nice little cook book for kids. It shows you how to make many different kinds of pizza (including a brownie pizza) and pastas. I think kids would like this cook book because it has the sorts of foods that they would enjoy like macaroni and cheese, Mama Mia Spaghetti and Meatballs.
The draw backs of these recipes though is that some of them are rather complicated to make.
This is an example of a book that I don't think many parents would think of using to help their children learn to read. From my experience most kids love to get their hands dirty in the kitchen and would love to help someone make one of these recipes.
