I Can Cook: Light Lunches: A Children's Cookbook **Blog Tour**

I Can Cook: Light Lunches: 

A Children's Cookbook 

**Blog Tour**



Author Biography 


Born in Zimbabwe, Africa I was fortunate and privileged enough to have had several years of cooking with my granddaughter Imogen who enjoyed cooking. Before she could even stand she was stirring pots from my arms.

I take pleasure in writing these books for "Imsi" in memory of our early years together.

We spent many enjoyable hours in the kitchen and I have no doubt she will one day be a Great Cook. We came from Africa where fresh healthy locally grown fruits, vegetables and meats were readily available grown and ripened in the natural unspoiled gardens and farms with a large percentage of organic growing and production.

What a great idea! Marika has put together an amazing series of children's cook books. My daughter loved this book with its fun simple recipes. Cooking together has been a pleasure and a time to bond together in the kitchen being creative and preparing these quick and simple meals together. The book is not only for the children but can also be used by the parents.

This review is from: I Can Cook: Light Lunches: A Children's Cookbook (My Children's Cookbook 3) (Kindle Edition)
Another awesome children's cookbook from Marika, she is sure leading in this genre, well done!

Educational Fun Children's Books




By Sheryl on June 11, 2014

"Seven Wonders of the Earth" by Anna Othitis is another fun book in the series of "My First travel Books" Educational fun and inspirational and a wonderful way to teach young children about popular and famous and beautiful places of our world. Such natural Earths amazing wonders. Anna truly shows off our Earth to our children. A lovely children's gift which was enjoyed by my children and us as parents we too learned from this book.
A short illustrated page on Our Seven Wonders of The EARTH explains the significance of the places, with information followed by fun questions. An amazing way to learn about the world beyond our own borders from the comfort of their own home, Anna has carefully composed the pages to make them fun and entertaining. It is books like these that children learn and may one day decide to travel abroad. Captain Frankie brings excitement to he readers, young and old in a simple and some rhyming way to keep the children interested and imaginative. The illustrations are colorful and of the real sites as they are seen in real life.
Gifted this book for an honest review this is a 5 star book!

Beautiful and educational picture book

By ChristophFischerBooks TOP 500 REVIEWER on April 27, 2014

"The Seven Natural Wonders Of The Earth (My First Travel Books)" by Anna Othitis is the second in this series and almost even surpasses the charm of her first book.
In this beautifully drawn and illustrated picture book Captain Frankie takes us to seven amazing beauty spots of the world: The Northern Lights, Victoria Falls, Rio De Janeiro, Mexico, The Grand Canyon, Mount Everest and the Great Barrier Reef.
The impressive and well chosen pictures are followed up with great explanations about the history and background of those wonderful places and by questions, helping the parents and teachers to test what the children have remembered.
Learning can be fun like this and it is sure to make children want to read more about the wonders of the world and travel to some of these destinations one day.
Highly recommended.
