Delicious!

Helen Cooper
Farrar Straus Giroux 2006
My garden is full of good things to eat—black cherries, giant watermelons and prickly pears. I tried to grow a chocolate plant, but it never got too tall. I kept munching on it! When it’s my turn to cook, I try to use something from the garden. Sometimes my recipes don’t always turn out right. Like when I saw the interesting face Ladybug made after drinking my tomato-banana milkshake with rosemary whipped cream.
Delicious! is about three friends, Duck, Cat, and Squirrel. They usually have pumpkin soup, made with pumpkins fresh from their garden. But they’re fresh out! So they try a bunch of wacky recipes with the help of their little bug friends (Ladybug could have sworn she spotted her cousin Hucklebug in the book!) This book will make you want to try new things--you can even make pink soup with a recipe at the front of the book!
