Product Description
Please do play with your food! Sturdy pop-out pieces let preschoolers practice their culinary skills — no supervision required.
It's a preschooler's dream — a chance not only to pick what you want to eat, but to make it yourself! Get out the frying pan and spatula. For breakfast there are eggs and bacon to fry and bread or bagels to pop in the toaster. Lunch brings plenty of sandwich choices — just layer the lettuce, cheese, tomato, and whatever you'd like. Best of all, there are ice-cream sundaes for dessert, with plenty of fruit to pile on for toppings. Leave it to pop-up master Robert Crowther to cook up a pop-out paradise where kids can play chef to their heart's content.

Lots of fun for my 3 yr old!! April 25, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
My daughter loves this book. She likes to ask everyone in the house what they'd like to eat and then fries the egg, makes up the sandwich, etc. While I understand that the previous reviewer was disappointed with the lack of "proper nutrition", I feel the food choices are basic, simplified and fun. If I have any issue with the book, it is that the pieces can be difficult to fit back into their puzzle-like spaces. (The pictures need to be aligned exactly, or they won't fit back in.) Still, a very good purchase.
Unique board book concept--but does not teach good nutrition January 17, 2005
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
My 2-year old loves to cook and pretend to cook, and enjoys this unique book that involves cut-out photos of different foods and simple activities to do to pretend to cook and prepare food. The graphics are great and the board is sturdy. I am disappointed however that the author did not take the opportunity to teach good nutrition. The newest govt guidelines call for 4-5 servings of fruit and 4-5 servings of vegetables a day, for example. In the book, instead of presenting whole-grain bread, white bread and a bagel are presented. Bacon appears twice. Two vegetables are provided. Dessert is a 5-scoop ice cream sundae (although, granted there are four kinds of fruits associated with it, which is a plus!).
Children begin to develop their lifelong palate at an early age. Unfortunately children are already bombarded with enough advertising for unhealthy foods, and this was an opportunity to present another option, not taken advantage of.
