Pretend Soup has rapidly become the children's cookbook classic, and no home or daycare center should be without a copy. Mollie Katzen, author of the Moosewood Cookbook, and educator Ann Henderson have created a masterpiece formatted for grown-ups--with written instructions, suggestions, and caveats--and for kids--with illustrated, easy-to-follow pictures. The recipes are both tasty and healthy, and the quotes from kids are very funny (Matthew: "This is so good, I can't even say a word.") While safety is stressed and tips and warnings are included, Katzen and Henderson always stress the fun in food preparation. "Spills are what sponges are for. So keep plenty of sponges around, and a good time will be had by all!"
Book Description
A Cookbook for Preschoolers & Up Together with her co-author, educator Ann Henderson, cookbook author Mollie Katzen believes it's never too early to introduce children to the creative world of cookery in a fun, healthful way. For small children, exploring food and cooking is not just about eating, it can be a playful activity and a way to learn new skills. As an educational experience, consider all the things a child can learn in the kitchen: counting, symbol recognition, reading readiness, self-confidence, use of tools, food literacy, and more. Pretend Soup brings the grown-up world of real cooking to a child's level. Each vegetarian recipe is presented on double-page spreads, two per recipe. Full of Mollie's well-loved warmth and whimsical artistry, the first spread details the ingredients, safety tips, and a familiar version of the recipe for the prep cook: the adult. The second spread presents the recipe pictorally for the child and introduces a few easy-to-read words - your child moves from the usual role of helper to head cook.

 Great book! March 26, 2008
Pretend Soup is great. Love the illustrations and kid friendly directions. The recipes are not only healthy, but they taste great! And a good variety too.
Don't let the vegetarian status of this turn you off if you are die-hard meat eaters. Really who wants to deal with food safety of meats with preschoolers anyway?
I LOVED this book when I was a kid March 8, 2008
My mom got me this book when I was a little kid - about 14 years ago, I think. This was my FAVORITE cookbook growing up, and I used it for years. All the recipes are healthy and delicious! The Zucchini Moons were my favorite, but I made just about every recipe in this book. Now I'm a college student, and my mom sent me my old copy in a package a few months ago. This morning I was inspired and whipped up some pretend soup, and it's still delicious :) this book is a classic that I will keep for many years to come.

Because of this book, "bagel face" is the newest endearment in our house. Also because of this book, my three-year-old has cooked and eaten vegetables three times in the last week. Enough said.
Little ones will love the pictures!! September 12, 2007

My son, 4, loves this book! He loves that he can follow a recipe without having to read and he loves the outcome. Really helps kids get in touch with how food is put together and the joy of the process. The pictures are cute and colorful and the recipes simple and delicious. With most food coming in boxes and bags, this a great way to introduce kids to home made food.
My son has me read it to him cover to cover! June 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My 3 (and a 1/2) year old son LOVES this book, LOVES IT! He really does sit me down and ask me to read it through as if it were a story book. We also cook out of it. He is always thrilled to make a new recipe. We've made 7 of them, and we've only had the book for 2 months. He can't get enough. Buy this book, really.
