Pretend Soup

and Other Real Recipes
A Cookbook for Preschoolers and Up
by Mollie Katzen and Ann Henderson

Pretend Soup brings the grown-up world of real cooking to a child's level. Bestselling cookbook author Mollie Katzen and educator Ann Henderson believe it's never too early to introduce children to the creative world of cookery in a fun, healthful way. Their book is filled with recipes for delicious vegetarian dishes that kids will love to make and eat.

Each vegetarian recipe is presented on double-page spreads, two per recipe. Full of Mollie Katzen's well-loved warmth and whimsical artistry, the first spread details the ingredients, safety tips, and a familiar version of the recipe for the adult cook. The second spread presents the recipe pictorially for the child and introduces a few easy-to-read words--your child moves from the usual role of helper to head cook. What fun when kids are deep into a bowl of "Green Spaghetti," "Zucchini Moons," or "Pretend Soup"--and loving it because they made it themselves!

For Ages 4 to 7.
