(We told them that we, Those Lutheran Ladies, were there to hear their Borning Cry 100 years ago. See Hymn #770 in "With One Voice"!)

Gallop! A Scanimation Picture Book     by Rufus Butler Seder
Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, which harkens back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, each page in this book is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text.

"Gram, this book is cool. The horse gallops when you open the book." Lynnsey, age 10.
"It's very, very entertaining."   Erika, an avid reader.

Look and Cook

Look and Cook: A Cookbook for Children by Davis, Tina

Do you have Grandkids coming to visit this summer? It seems because so many two-parent families have each parent working full-time these days, teaching kids to cook is becoming a lost art and a forgotten activity. This is sort of the "Let's Cook With Gail" 50 years later! Remember getting that book for your birthday in the mid-'50s, and making Funny Face Cookies?

If you are fortunate enough to be a semi-retired grandparent and your "kids" will be spending some time with you this summer, this cookbook could provide you some quality time with your grandchildren, and the grandkids could return home with some surprises for their working parents.

This cookbook features more than 50 simple recipes that capture the fun of cooking for kids of all ages. From salads to desserts, each recipe is clearly explained and colorfully illustrated with vintage artwork. Different utensils and techniques are described, along with hints about how to measure, safety in the kitchen, how to properly set a table, and much more.

Perfect for ages 8 to 13.

CH - 27 $19.95 Hardcover with concealed wire-o-binding.
