Since they are discontinuing the kid's cookbook, I'm trying to decide to buy it or not. Can someone tell me what's in it and if it's worth it.
 
Only if you have small kids.
 
You can't go wrong buying it

it will come in handy at some point

My daughter Lucy Loves it

That's my 2¢

I made little mouse cupcakes for my daughter's school one day. They were out of that book. They have a few really cute ideas. I always feel like I have to have one of each cookbook before they retire.

BTW, who is your Director? I was just wondering if I would be meeting you at our Spring Kick Off next month.

Here is the pic of the mice cupcakes...

Have you priced cookbooks in a bookstore? This is such a nicely put together cookbook - and I think it's a great deal! I'm sad that it is being discontinued, but I'm sure it's because it uses so many other discontinued items in the recipes.
