An eccentric reading from delicious answers to ridiculous questions about what can – and what cannot – be done in the kitchen!
Food critic and author Joshua David Stein tackles the world of cooking with his characteristic whimsy 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 intriguing question and a satisfying revelation, all revolving around food preparation. The simple yet refined illustrations by Julia Rothman add authenticity and a balance of seriousness to the silliness. Incorporating humor, puns, logic and nonsense, foreign foods, and even some culinary vocabulary, this loud book offers kids facts to share and perhaps even the push to get involved in the kitchen!
Ages 3-5 years
