Great book!

I saw this book in our library and checked it out for ideas of snacks to make for the crowd at my house. My kids saw it, grabbed it and headed to the kitchen to check out what ingredients we had. It's been a big hit here! We checked it out so much I finally had to buy our own copy. It has easy-to-understand directions, color pictures, and cute comments that are right on target for this age group. I'm going to purchase the rest of Dunnington's books for my kids. You can't go wrong with this!
