This was really disappointing for me. I love the author's work as an educator, but SO much of this book is screenshots of tweets with no additional editing, and there's a fair bit of repetition between and across the tweets and the main text. I was very excited for the content, and I still think the underlying philosophies are cool, but I just can't finish this book.

This was a quick and very fun read! I don't know that I'd reread it straight through, but there are definitely parts I'd like to revisit, and I took photos as I was reading of some especially delightful pieces.

I listened to the short and beautiful audiobook. I think I'd like to read this one again sometime!

I read the 1981 edition of this, and some of it was a little dated (including an ingredient I think may no longer exist?). It was VERY unhinged overall, and I loved it. I also have a couple recipes picked out from it that I'll probably make!

This was so fun and beautiful 💖

The perspective lapses in passages supposed to be in MMC's voice were rough, but overall this was very fun!

I didn't love it and I wouldn't read it again, but it was good enough that I left the audiobook on during chores.

I'm going to start this soon, as a companion to a class I'm taking!

This was great, but is meant to target kids to can start cooking with help, which is a little older than the kids I'm currently trying to find books for. Considering setting myself a reminder to come back in two years, though!

This book seems to be targeting children who haven't been to the library yet and are getting ready to go for the first time, but the vocabulary targets a more experienced reader than ideal for a first library visit. If a child has made it to early grades without going to the library, this would be great.
