Gr 1-4–Renowned British chef and healthy eating champion Jamie Oliver has set his sights on the youngest among us with this new board book series. This short entry focuses on the process of making a cookie recipe featuring banana, apple, oats, and cinnamon. Bright colors, large text, and interactive flaps are likely to be a winning combination for the most discerning of culinary-focused babies and toddlers. The simplicity of the large, colorful Illustrations is reminiscent of the styles of writer/illustrators Eric Carle and Lois Elhert. The full Apple Crumble Cookies recipe ties the book together and offers the potential for a fun family activity. Additional features include important (though slightly patronizing in tone) safety tips, and a kind note from Oliver.
VERDICT A “grate” choice for public libraries needing to expand their board book collection.
