Follow the Recipe: Poems About Imagination, Celebration, and Cake | Marilyn Singer
11 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
A joyful collection of poems by the author of Mirror Mirror, in the form of recipes both simple and allegorical. This delicious collection of poems by the innovative Marilyn Singer is accompanied by vibrant splashy artwork by two-time Caldecott honoree Marjorie Priceman. Presented in a small-size format to appeal to older readers (as well as young), the book has the look of a vintage collector's compendium that includes pictures, ephemera and annotations to add interest. Even young children are familiar with recipes--a series of steps to help them make something--and the book begins with simple dishes and ideas (such as a recipe for reading a recipe and a recipe for measuring), and then adds more ideas and grows in sophistication until the last recipes broach lofty concepts (such as a recipe for understanding and a recipe for peace). A treasure of words and images and ideas.

I loved this book. I think the poetry in it is wonderful and attention grabbing, combined with the elements of recipes and cooking, this book creates a wonderful story

I thought that this book is great for second grade and above as it expresses and allows for imagination to be used and admired.

The recipe for love filled the reader with joy, excitement and celebration and allowed the reader to think about their own lives. The illustrations are bright and lively to keep the readers attention.

This book is a really great book for older children who want to learn how to cook. It‘s really colorful and I think a lot of students would enjoy it
