From the publisher

A whimsical read-aloud of delicious answers to ridiculous questions about what can – and cannot – be done in the kitchen!Food critic and author Joshua David Stein tackles the world of cookery with his signature quirk and charm. From the practical (“Can I fry a scoop of gelato?”) to the playful (“Do frozen peas grow on frozen trees?”), each vignette features an engaging question and a satisfying reveal, all revolving around the preparation of food. The simple yet sophisticated hand-drawings by Julia Rothman provide authenticity and a balance of seriousness to the silliness at hand. Incorporating humor, word play, logic and illogic, foreign foods, and even some cookbook vocabulary, this read-aloud book offers children facts to share and maybe even the impetus to get involved in the kitchen!Ages 3-5
