Makin' Muffins

Lorraine Douglas is the youth services co-ordinator at the Winnipeg
Public Library.

The Makin’ Muffins baking kit contains a small coil-bound cookbook and
a mini muffin tray. The book features “baking basics,” “cook’s
safety tips, “cook’s tools,” and recipes for 12 muffins: A Is for
Apple Muffins, Marble Twirl Muffins, Pretty-As-a-Peach Muffins, Colorful
Carrot Muffins, Very Berry Blueberry Muffins, Bananafanna Muffins, Crazy
About Corn Muffins, Good-Morning Orange Muffins, Strawberry-Surprise
Muffins, Lickety-Split Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, Summertime Raspberry
Muffins, and Yo-Yo Yogurt Muffins. Interspersed throughout the pages are
food jokes and facts. Libraries looking for children’s cookbooks would
be better served by My First Cookbook (1989) or Better Homes and Gardens
Step-by-Step Kids Cookbook (1984). Kids would enjoy this package as a
gift. Recommended.
