If you enjoy baking and playing in the kitchen with kids, Cake Mix Cooking for Kids is the perfect book for you. Each recipe uses a basic cake mix with just a few other ingredients. Many recipes are accompanied with gorgeous color photos that make your mouth water just looking at them. Whether you want to make cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, ice cream treats or even pizza, you will find a variety of recipes in this little treasure of a cook book. With easy to follow directions and a few common ingredients a child will feel quite proud of the final product they helped create. Many of the recipes in this book were tested by this very librarian and her five-year-old son. Our personal favorite can be found on page 28! (You'll have to check out the book to see what it is).

Review: The Hidden Dragon

By
The Hidden Dragon By Melissa Marr New York: Nancy Paulsen Books, 2023. Fiction. 161 pages. Three children, Otter, London, and Sophia, live in a fantasy world with dragons. Otter (short for Ottilie) is the daughter of a ship captain, and she loves the sea and its dragons. London is a stowaway boy, searching for a new life full of adventure. Sophia lives in a thief house with other children, all dedicated to helping each other and trying to make the kingdom better. As trouble begins to brew both on land and at sea, these three heroes realize that maybe it's up to the kids to make things right. Readers experience the book from multiple perspectives, and with a bit of mystery and adventure, this is an amazing fantasy read. With the inspiring message that children truly can make a difference, readers will enjoy how each character fights for what's right, even when it's inconvenient. The ending is resolved a little quickly, but this is a great read for all "hatchlings."
