A Kid's Herb Book

This book is brilliant. Not only is it written in a way a 9 year old can understand and follow, it's also presented well for adults. Full of great information, recipes and activities - packed with information. We've already baked the fantastic ginger cookies and enjoyed the experience of lemon balm tea together. Definitely recommended for kids starting on their herbal journey.

I bought this one because we homeschool and my son is really into plants and such. I have to agree with the other mom who said that the kids had to wrestle it away from her! The first couple of things we found that was really fun are recipes for homemade rootbeer and marshmallows. We are totally going to try these. To be honest, we haven't gotten that far into it yet, but I have flipped through it and found so many interesting things that I can't wait to dive back into it this week with my son!

This is a good book and my son and I both enjoyed the fairy tale-like stories in each chapter about how the herbs came to be known for their healing qualities. There are a lot of recipes and activities for each herb but it's not what I personally was looking for. I was hoping there would be more different kinds of herbs listed and what they are used for.

Seriously this book is great! It was wonderful ideas for the garden, crafts, the seasons, herbal stuff. It is just fun, cool, great!

I purchased this book for my 7yo son because we do use a lot of herbs at home. He likes the book very much but my 4yo dd LOVES it! She loves making the recipes, learning about the plants and how they work, and hearing the stories. It has become her favorite book. I love the recipes as well since they are wonderful to give to children. I can't recommend this book enough.
