Children's Literature
Most kids love to cook. Give them simple chores to do during dinnertime and you not only have the opportunity to light a spark for cooking that could last them a lifetime, but you have the chance to spend quality time with your child. While cooking in the kitchen at home is a fun activity, cooking outside can be even more fun. White has written a colorful and fun book filled with recipes designed to be cooked by children outdoors. White begins by describing the tools and supplies needed when going on a camping trip and planning to cook outside. Basic supplies are listed, as well as a few fun activities that will help children create things not strictly necessary but that can add a fun dimension to the trip. Safety information and basic conservation information are included in the first chapter, followed by chapters that emphasize different methods of outdoor cooking. The recipes are simple enough for children to create on their own and fun enough that, with slight modification, can be cooked at home, too.
