Follow the Recipe: Poems about Imagination, Celebration, and Cake by Marilyn Singer

5.0

A joyous celebration of food, poetry, and connection, these poems will serve young readers in countless ways. Not only is FOLLOW THE RECEIPE an excellent pick for pleasure reading, educators will find it endlessly useful as a mentor text for poetry units and beyond and parents will find inspiration for crafts, cooking projects, and even as a launching pad for big, nuanced discussions about community, culture, and responsibility. FOLLOW THE RECIPE is absolutely for young readers, but I think many adult readers, especially those who write or cook, would also enjoy and find meaning in this stunning collaboration from Singer and Priceman.
