# Follow the Recipe: Poems about Imagination, Celebration, and Cake - Hardcover

by **Marilyn Singer** (Author), **Marjorie Priceman** (Illustrator)

**A joyful collection of poems by the author of _Mirror Mirror_, in the form of recipes both simple and allegorical.**

This delicious collection of poems by the innovative Marilyn Singer is accompanied by vibrant splashy artwork by two-time Caldecott honoree Marjorie Priceman. Presented in a small-size format to appeal to older readers (as well as young), the book has the look of a vintage collector's compendium that includes pictures, ephemera and annotations to add interest. Even young children are familiar with recipes--a series of steps to help them make something--and the book begins with simple dishes and ideas (such as a recipe for reading a recipe and a recipe for measuring), and then adds more ideas and grows in sophistication until the last recipes broach lofty concepts (such as a recipe for understanding and a recipe for peace). A treasure of words and images and ideas.
