The first flowers in the garden, green buds on trees, the return of songbirds and, of course, rainy days.

Picture Book Puzzler: Cooking Up a StormWednesday, February 1st, 2012The winter is always my favorite time to spend time in my kitchen, roll up my sleeves and cook up something delicious or warm. Whether it’s a loaf of fresh bread, a new soup recipe or something sweet for a friend’s birthday, spending the time to make something delicious by hand is always so rewarding. Cooking and baking with kids can also be such a great activity. There are tons of kid-friendly recipes for you and your young ones to try available online and in cookbooks. Reading picture books about cooking together is also a great way to get hesitant little chefs excited about trying to cook. For today’s Picture Book Puzzler, I’ve pulled some images of chefs and bakers from ten different picture books. Can you name each book? Put your guesses in the comments below and I’ll be back at the end of the week with answers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Do you have a favorite picture book about cooking or baking?
