Winnie-the-Pooh's Picnic Cookbook

There's much more to this little book than pots of honey (or is it "hunny"?).

There are six picnic menus in this book and each menu serves six people. In addition to the (over 40)  recipes, each menu suggests "extra supplies." For instance: 'binoculars for birdwatching' or 'a kite.'

It's a tiny little book - just about 5x6 inches in size, and has lots of pictures of Pooh and his pals.

Arrow Book of Easy Cooking
(Let's Cook Without Cooking)

Cooking without cooking? Well, I can't imagine it gets any easier than that!

This "cookbook" is geared towards children, with easy recipes and fun illustrations. Look closely at the cover and you'll see an apple shooting an arrow at a cutting board (revenge?), an angry looking serving spoon, and some humanoid bananas walking smaller bananas on leashes.

Don't miss: Banana-Prune Whip on page 52. (Kids love prunes!)

Those are some happy looking bananas!
