"Anyone can slap a piece of baloney and cheese between two slices of bread and call it lunch. But make a sandwich with Brie, salami, or hot mustard and you've got a standout meal. This is cooking without any of the intimidating parts--great for easing kids into the kitchen and familiarizing them with tools, techniques, vocabulary, and ingredients. These sandwiches make good use of leftovers and other refrigerator remnants, and many include instructions for making condiments and sauces such as pesto, tzatziki, and hummus. Recipes that encourage experimentation grant kids autonomy and agency in feeding themselves. Peppy cartoon illustrations, informal conversational language, and legitimately fascinating facts are a good match for the subject. Readers will learn a surprising amount of history, especially about immigration and the popularization of certain ingredients, while building their bread-based lunch. VERDICT Sandwiches are good stepping stones to ""real"" cooking, and these books make them fun. However, librarians may want to check out Deering and Lentz's Sandwiches!, which compiles many of the recipes featured here into a single volume.--Paula Willey, Baltimore County Public Library ""School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"""
