Episode 18: Cookbooks for Kids

In episode 018 of the Your Kid’s Next Read podcast:

Cookbooks for Kids

Allison Tait and Megan Daley look at why cookbooks are great for kids (beyond the delicious creations) and have recommendations for everyone from tots to teens. Plus, we look at why reading out loud is essential – and not just to develop reading skills, but writing skills as well. And Allison shares her number one Book Week writing tip.
