Many years ago my wife bought Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cook
Book. I don't know how much he actually used it, but there is a recipe
in it for coffee cake that we love and it has become a Christmas brunch
tradition.

There are a few other recipes in there worth doing but I have trouble
with the format of some of the instructions. It is not the way I am used
to following recipes. I suppose the value of this one is that in
addition to a list of ingredients it also has a list of equipment you
will need. More important, it has a lot of recipes for things kids tend
to like.
