This week I wanted to share my Top 10 Cookbooks for Kids. I’ve been spending some time in the kitchen with my mom lately helping her chop, slice, and man the stove and I’ve really been enjoying myself.

I talked to my mom about learning more about cooking and she recommended that I come up with some easy kid-friendly recipes that I would like to make. So I did some research and these are my top 10 cookbooks made for kids.

A few key things we wanted in each book are:

• How easy it would be to cook
• Easy to read and understand
• Ingredients we were familiar with
