My First Coloring Cookbook

My First Coloring Cookbook provides multiple benefits for young, curious minds. It consists of four simple recipes that are all in picture format. Ingredients are listed in chronological order to help encourage counting exercises. Recipes are easily adaptable to the specific needs of each family.
