My review:

40 recipes to make with your cub are in this book. Each recipe includes a color photo of the food. There is a section for each holiday with a one page introductory tale to the holiday featuring the bears.

The recipes are sorted by holiday and most are easy to make.  There are such recipes as pizza, mashed potatoes, smoothie, popcorn and more.  You will enjoy making these recipes with your cubs.

Over all I give this book a 4 out 5 stars because of the difficulty of some recipes.
