(UPDATED) I feel it only fair to tell you that I have now attempted some of these recipes with my children and there are a couple of concerns I have:

First: the cookie recipes appear to be the pretty much the same cookie each time with only changes to make them roll-able or shape-able and my kids did not enjoy the taste of them, which shocks me because HELLO they’re cookies.

Second: the other recipes are not what I would call kid-friendly recipes. I thought the kids would jump at the little pizzas and the bread play but that was not our experience. They didn’t even want to make half of them, and the ones they did make, they wouldn’t eat.

So good for activity maybe and maybe good for relaying the Bible stories but not really foods that kids will eat.


“ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW”


I received this book FREE in exchange for an honest review from Cross-Focused Reviews. I cannot honestly say whether or not I would have spent the sticker price for this book since my family is on a very tight budget and it seems a bit high. But I can say that if I found it on sale, I would definitely buy it!

This book has 20 Bible stories that go along with a fun recipe for the kids to try out. Personally I can say that my children enjoy the simple, engaging style, they are told in.

It's designed to take your child through the main storyline of the Bible. I feel there are a lot of important stories that could have been added but I'm guessing it's not easy to match up recipes with all of these stories.

But then, maybe they'll come out with another one sometime. Make it a whole series...

Along with the stories there are questions to discuss while you're cooking and even a recap to use while you're eating what you’ve cooked.

We have not completed all of these recipes yet. We are adding this book to our homeschool and going through them slowly, doing one a week. I am going to post about that experience on my Cooking Adventures With Kids blog! http://cookingadventureswithkids.wordpress.com

I have read through the book though and I can tell you this. The stories are engaging and simple. The recipes look like a lot of fun! And the kids are excited to get started! That alone tells me this is a GREAT book for kids!

I would recommend this book to parents, especially those of you who may be having some difficulty getting them to understand the BIG bible stories. The interactive nature gives children a whole new understanding of how the stories relate to them personally. ( )
