PreS-Gr 1—ChopChop Family ("a national nonprofit organization that uses food and cooking to help children and their adults build fundamental life skills") introduces simple recipes relating to breakfast in this board book. Along with recipes, there is a section on "before you start" that includes washing hands and preparing the kitchen and ingredients before beginning any recipe. Each recipe spread includes a photo ingredients list that adds them up like a math problem on one side; on the other are simple instructions with no more than three or four steps. Bright, colorful photos show the final products as well as children of various ethnicities enjoying their breakfast. Definitions of some of the ingredients are included, with a full glossary at the end. Among the recipes are Yogurt and Granola, Mashed Egg on Toast, and Mashed Avocado on a Tortilla. VERDICT A must-buy for board book collections, the inclusive look and easy recipes allow young children to have a hand in family meals and snacks.—Molly Dettmann
