What's Cooking?

Food critic and author Joshua David Stein is back, this time to tackle the world of cookery with his signature quirk and charm. From the practical ('Can I fry a scoop of gelato?') to the playful ('Do frozen peas grow on frozen trees?'), each vignette features an engaging question and a big reveal, all revolving around the preparation of food. The simple yet sophisticated hand drawings by illustrator Julia Rothman provide authenticity and a balance of seriousness to the silliness at hand. Incorporating humour, word play, logic and illogic, foreign foods, and even some cookbook vocabulary, this readaloud book offers young children facts to share and maybe even the impetus to get involved in the kitchen!
