This book includes a hodgepodge of different foods, a photo and biographical sketch of each contributor, and a longer statement or anecdote that relates to the fare. Booklists for each entry give readers a good overview of the artists work or enrich a subject generated by the contributors comment, such as childrens resources about Marco Polo with Kathy Feeneys recipe for MarcoRoni, titles relating to immigration with Betsy Maestros Russian Borscht, or a list of 100-day tales accompanying Keiko Kaszas submission. Organized alphabetically by author, the recipes are not for novices. Many require expertise in the kitchen, and some a sophisticated array of tools. The list of 50 authors and illustrators does not read as a Whos Who in children’s literature, but there are enough stars to establish a recognizable compilation of familiar names. Not to imply that children’s authors are unhealthy eaters, but desserts are plentiful and most of the entries will not accommodate a health-conscious diet.”—Janet S. Thompson, Chicago Public Library Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. “Book lovers of all ages will enjoy the informative and delicious tie-ins between well-known authors and illustrators and their favorite recipes. More than 50 favorites share their memories of beloved culinary creations to make the reading of their particular genre tastier. The books’ authors have gathered a fun collection that will give the reader a glimpse into the personal lives of these personalities… [t]his recipe collection would be an interesting way to promote an author visit, a book club discussion, or a special promotional event at the library.”—Library Media Connection “Here is a winner for anyone doing author studies and wanting to connect children to food through specific authors’ books…. If teens war using picture books and need a project, here is a book report complete with a suggested tasty morsel that aims to please.”—Teacher Librarian, October 2005 |
