Ferguson likes MOLLIE KATZEN’s latest book, Salad People and More Real Recipes: A New Cookbook for Preschoolers and Up (Tricycle Press, $17.95) for the 20 kid-tested recipes that encourage creativity and healthy eating habits. She says the “cooking hints and safety tips round out this delightfully tasty collection.”
Written for the beginner chef, Big Snacks, Little Meals: After School, Dinnertime, Anytime (Lark Books, $9.95) by ROSE DUNNINGTON will entice kids with healthy snacks to satisfy their after-school hunger. Ferguson says the 50 “easy recipes will get their salivary glands moving as they create finger foods, desserts and other delicious tummy-filling delights.”
