Wonderful book to do projects with kids With the perfect combination of an artist-educator Bill and Claire Wurtzel created Funny Food, a book aim for children. But their breakfast ideas are equally well suited to serve for guests whether friends or family. You don't have to be an artist to create most of the 365 breakfast ideas but it helps to have some artistic inclinations. This is a picture book with photos illustrating the many, many ideas the authors came up with, most very funny. They may be simple and easy to reproduce but some are hard (such as reproducing Mona Lisa painting). Yet these are ideas, and once you tried a few, you are on your own to create a breakfast with your child from available ingredients. You must have ideas ready, work fast and have very warm plates handy so hot items like fried eggs, fresh pancakes or a bowl of oatmeal remain hot. Each creation stresses nutrition as well thus ingredients are not chosen haphazardly. The photos range from quarter-page to full page size and there is very little text. The four chapters include eggs, waffles/pancakes, oatmeal/cereal/fruit and toast/bagels/snacks. The book is small with sturdy splash-resistant pages. Great project with kids.

AWESOME totally recommend this book. Only thing is that the book is all about breakfast and is sort of stuck on eggs, oatmeal, and fruit recipes/creations.
