How Do You Make Dinosaur Soup? Ask a kid.
We all know that our kids say the funniest things, and if you asked them how to make their favorite dishes, you'd get all sorts of answers. Probably even rolling on the floor funny.
For the upcoming book, Dinosaur Soup(And Other Dubious Recipes Written by Children), the publishers are asking you for your child's recipe submissions. Simply ask them to write or tell you how to make his or her favorite dish. Make no corrections and send them in to recipes [at] bobsyouruncle.com. All submissions will get a free copy of the book, and winners will get an additional special prize.
See the submission guidelines(PDF) for more details.

Kitchen for Kids: A Cookbook for the Grade School Chef
If your kids have an interest in cooking and helping out in the kitchen, then Kitchen for Kids is a great way to get them hands-on experience with cooking and baking from a kid's perspective. Recipes are written so there is easy preparation with no electric mixers or knives needed, ingredients are common and easy to work with, and the resulting dish is kid-sized. What's more, every recipe is photographed - which some adult cookbooks don't even have. And while your supervision is recommended, the cookbook's introduction promises that "you will be pleasantly surprised at how much children will be able to do by themselves." Sounds like a great way to inspire a cooked meal for mom and dad.
