The Yummy Adventures of Celia & Cedric {Book Review}
Do your kids like to help you in the kitchen? Most of mine did when they were growing up and now the grandkids are wanting to help when they come over. And now that summer is here, I’m so glad to have the series about The Yummy Adventures of Celia & Cedric by Erin Kurt and Laara Exsnar.
These are lovely little books for kids ages 3-8 who enjoy not only reading (or being read to) and then getting to do hands-on activities based on the book! In these books, we follow Celia & Cedric as they use their imagination to beat boredom.
The best part are being able to make recipes with your child after reading the book, which are great to help them learn kitchen skills as well as spending time with them! For example, in one story we learn about a little green dragon and then we make a smoothie after we’re finished with the story.
Honestly, we usually end up reading or talking about the book as we enjoy our healthy snacks. And that’s an awesome part of this series; it’s not telling kids they can’t have snacks or delicious food, but more about making healthy choices which will benefit them in the long run.
Here are the 3 books that have been published so far:
- Amazing Apples – Celia is bored. And with everyone in her family busy she doesn’t know what to do…until her dad gives her a task that leads to her best day ever; the day she meets Cedric and their yummy adventures begin!
- Eat Dirt Balls – After a rainy night Celia had a fun idea as usual. Who knew that what started out as mud and grass clippings would turn out to be the most delicious, delectable snack they or anyone else had tasted…yes, even Celia’s teenage brother, Jake.
- Little Green Dragon – Celia and Cedric meet a new friend! In this new adventure, they meet the Little Green Dragon, who becomes a fun playmate and an inspiration for a yummy new recipe. Celia and Cedric enjoy the Little Green Dragon’s smoothie and you can, too!
