Review: This cookbook is filled with creative and fun recipes that will have your toddler eating things you never thought the would.  Each recipe has a picture with it, I really like having an idea of what my dish should look like when it's done.  You can also have your child go through the cookbook and pick out something based on the picture.  This helps to get them involved and interested in the meal which may help them eat it as well.  You will also find nutrition information for each recipe, this helps parents pick foods that meet any dietary needs or restrictions children may have.  The recipe I found the most interesting was Maple Carrots.  My son loves maple syrup yet I had never thought of using it on food other than waffles!  The top picks in our house include, banana bread, frozen banana pops and banana strawberry smoothie.  I love that I can "hide" some other things in the banana bread and my toddler still eats it.

While I really do like the recipes in this book and how they creatively mixed some popular foods with some not so popular ones the part I found most helpful was the tips.  Meal time is a battle in our house.  My son would live off of pop tarts if he could.  We are putting some of these tips to good use and in time I think we can turn out pick toddler into a healthy eater.

Be consistent and firm.  Don't give up: Use the same tactics at each and every meal.  Put new foods on your child's plate first.  Don't give up to stubbornness.
