Cook-A-Doodle-Doo! By: Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel
Ages: Kindergarten through Second Grade
In our story, the Big Brown Rooster decides to follow in his great grand-mothers foot steps, the Little Red Hen. He finds her cookbook and the fun begins. Instead of making bread, Big Brown Rooster selects strawberry short cake and gets help from the Turtle, Iguana and a Pig. This book really brings reading and cooking together. The side bars on the pages are extremely informative regarding the cooking process. Children will enjoy seeing how this unlikely team made a wonderful strawberry short cake and what happened to it. The authors include the recipe on the last page.
