Using call-and-response, kids learn about teamwork, navigating the kitchen, and making a fruit-filled snack. They also learn about washing ingredients, peeling, chopping, scooping, and mixing fruit. In Love’s world, ingredients are joyful, helpful, and happy to be eaten! Berries, condiments, and kitchen tools have pleasant personalities, a boon in any kitchen.
The ingredients and tools respond to each command with “Yes, chef,” a common refrain in commercial kitchens. In addition to learning basic kitchen skills, kids learn the basics of kitchen safety!
Love is a London-based artist known for adding vinyl eye stickers and smiles to inanimate objects. Caregivers can learn more about Love at charlotteloveshop.com and order her new book at the links below!
