Look and Cook Snacks by Valorie Fisher - ADVISABLE

Look and Cook Snacks: A first book of recipes in pictures
by Valorie Fisher
INTERACTIVE, PICTURE BOOK Astra/Boyds Mill, 2023. $20. 9781662620447 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Delicious snack recipes, represented entirely in pictures (and necessary text). 

The snacks are healthy with fresh fruits and honey, and there is good guidance on when the child needs to be careful like for the hot oven or the blender or when needing a sharp knife. The author is a photographer and set designer. The cute doll house size characters in the tiny kitchen were adorable. The recipes were perfectly clear told only in pictures. There's a glossary of sorts at the beginning with words identifying all the important instructions, and the recipes themselves have helpful guiding words and measurements where the ingredients are listed. Can't wait to try this with my grandkids! The children depicted in this cook book are a variety of races.
