Cooking Rocks! Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals for Kids
+ Ray's Kid Cookbook + Rachael Ray
The kids love to make recipes from this cookbook.
It is great that the recipes are separated by age groups (for difficulty). The recipes are pretty good, too.
I like that it has a spiral binding inside the hard cover.

The Whale Rider 32 reviews Witi Ihimaera
Harcourt Paperbacks, 2003
Excellent coming of age story
+ Can't + brilliant, beautiful, powerful folk tale of girl power
This is an excellent coming of age story for a young girl, or boy! Readers will find delightful lore and learn something of New Zealand. The movie wasn't a disappointment, though I'm glad I read the book first.
