title: The Baking Book
author:  Jane Bull 
description: Grade 3-6Although the cover states that the book contains 50 delicious recipes, there are really only 10 basic ones with suggested variations. For instance, instructions for making shortbread cookies are followed by a list of 10 ingredients such as nuts or raisins that may be added to make new cookies. The simple recipes are accompanied by clear, color photographs that show the ingredients, tools, and steps in preparation. A few recipes call for superfine sugar, which is not readily available everywhere in the U.S. Notes remind youngsters of safety issues and when it is important to receive parental assistance. The bright and busy layout includes stuffed-animal assistants that add kid appeal. Angela Wilkess <i>The Childrens Step-by-Step Cook Book</i> (DK, 1997) contains recipes similar to almost all of the ones found here, plus many more, and is a better choice for aspiring bakers.<i>Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
