Review

It's a special day because Grandma is coming over for dinner. This story is all based around a little girl, Lizzie, (little chef) who wishes to make her grandmother's favorite meal - super special smashed sweet potatoes. And special meals must always have a secret ingredient! Lizzie experiments until she finds the "right" special ingredient and then adds it to her dish. After eating, Lizzie's Grandma claims that Lizzie's super special smashed sweet potatoes are even better than her own. When she asks Lizzie what the special ingredients is, Lizzie says - "a chef never tells anyone her secret ingredient. The Grandma then tells Lizzie - "And being with you is the best ingredient of all." The story ends with Lizzie wondering what she should cook tomorrow.

A cute, simple, and playful story demonstrating once again, how food and loved ones can make for a wonderful combination!

For young children ages 4-8 yrs, Good for any occassion or even a non-occasion. Just for the fun of it.

Overall Book Score: good
