Cherry Bakewell by Jane Bevan is a children’s book about Cherry and her daughter Peach. Cherry loves to cook and try out different recipes every day from ‘The Big Green Cookery Book’. She also gets her daughter to help her prepare the ingredients. Throughout the book, the recipes are given for each of the items they make, so that readers can try it out for themselves.

This is a very good children’s book. I like the bright green color for the cover, I think it stands out and grabs your attention. The book does contain beautiful illustrations, which were done by Lara Kerem. The illustrations are important as it will provide children an understanding of the context of the story. The book is interactive, it contains a game that readers can play. The game involves the reader noting down all the ingredients that are written in red, found in the recipes. The reader then has to figure out what the final recipe might be. I think this is a great idea because it holds the reader’s attention until the end of the book.

The author did an amazing job writing the recipes. They are short and simple, which is perfect for children to follow along. One of the best things about this book is the fact that it is not your average recipe book that contains only instructions. This book incorporates the recipes into a fun story. My favorite thing about the book would have to be seeing the relationship between Cherry and Peaches. Their mother/daughter bond is really inspiring. I felt like I was picturing myself as Peaches when I was reading the book.

There were some things that I didn’t like about the book. First of all, the illustrations are really small, and it’s hard to make out any details. This can be a problem when children are reading because they may find it difficult to decipher what’s going on in the illustration. Secondly, it would have been nice if the book contained page numbers so you know where you are. Furthermore, to improve the recipes, it would be easier to read if the instructions were listed as bullet points instead of being in a paragraph.

Overall, I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because despite the issues it was still an enjoyable read. It is well-edited as I only found one mistake. I recommend this book to children the ages of 6-9. I believe this book can create a stronger bond between a mother and daughter, and even a son.
