The Great State Cookbook is a cookbook for children ages 7-12. Each page features a different state (a page is also included for the District of Columbia). Included in each state page is a recipe and a fun fact. The majority of each of the recipes use an ingredient that is grown/produced in the corresponding state. The spiral bound cover makes the book easy for children to keep their place while making the recipes, and the laminated cover increases the book"s durability. Each recipe has been broken down into 5 steps or less, making it easy for children to follow along and understand.
