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!
