National Geographic Kids Cookbook: A Year-Round Fun Food Adventure

I am very very impressed with this book. It contains far more information and recipes than I expected. It's organized by month and contains relevant recipes and food-culture facts about each month. It's the kind of book I can imagine we'll be taking out all year round to make recipes and look up information.For example, September has a few sandwich recipes, and an introduction to quinoa with a back to school theme and craft projects such as making your own reusable lunch bag. (That's not all there is for September, but just a sampling.)The book has recipes, food facts, crafts, and true to national geographic, also pays attention to the environment and culture. I'm very glad I happened upon this book and look forward to getting into it with the kids. We are going to try and do everything in the September section this month and bust it out every month for family time. I just hope we can hold off until October before moving on to October's projects!

This is one of the best cookbooks I've come across for cooking with kids.My six-year-old granddaughter and I can pull it up on our individual Kindles and look for something seasonal and enticing.The book is arranged seasonally by month, with lots of eye-catching photos and creative ideas based on food and eating.The book is for older children, I would say 9-12 roughly, so my younger granddaughter needs plenty of help, but it is a joy for us to cook together.I use the book for myself as well, many of the recipes are suitable for adults to cook and enjoy too.

A neat book with lots of food facts and pictures. I agree that it doesn't have as many recipes as I thought it would, though. The kids and I have made a few of the recipes, and they turned out pretty well. Anything to get kids interested and excited about making their own food is great in my book!

I purchased one of these for each of my grandchildren. My ten-year-old granddaughter has made dinner using this cookbook and even provided me with a shopping list for a recipe she wanted to make when she was coming to visit. Both kids loved this book. I highly recommend it for grandparents to give their grandchildren.

Love this. I had a really hard time finding a kids cookbook that didn't pigeonhole budding foodies into the hotdog and nugget mold. This book has tons of fun recipes for 'real' food, great visual content, and tons of supplementary information. To be enjoyed by kids and parents alike. I can see my four year old using this for years to come. Highly recommended.

Great book.I Purchased for my niece (7) who wants to cook. It was hard to find one for her age that was not just kids finger foods. Love that it is informational in addition to the recipes. It was not just fruit salad and ants on a log. She was already reading it on Christmas picking what recipe to mage first.

It's a great book. A bit to old for the gr8 grandson I had bought it for so I am keeping it here at our house for now. But he will get it in about 2-3 years.

We love all our National Geographic books but this book should not be titled as a cook book. It has great information and stories but very few recipes. The title is misleading.

not exactly a cook book. just a series of suggested foods for certain times of year. I kept it just as an addition. don't bother if you are looking for childrens's instructions for actually cooking for themselves. too much info on the theory of nutrition according to the author. boring

My kid loved it!
