This unique toddler "cookbook" book promises hours of fun for children and caregivers alike as they explore the basic principles of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (S.T.E.A.M.).

Teach your toddler skills and concepts no kids cookbook can! Kid-friendly—Illustrated in a fun art style, this book is written to appeal to growing scientists and uses language they can easily understand. Prep for fun—Set up the kitchen for success and some silly science with helpful "lab" rules and a handy list of the materials young Einsteins or Curies will need.
