There's a certain magic about food-on-a-stick. It makes any meal taste like instant summer! Stuck in gloomy wintry weather? Put dinner on a stick, spread out a blanket on your floor and ---instant picnic! From breakfast to midnight snack, kids love food on a stick. Kids love cotton candy, corn dogs, frozen fruit bars, and lollipops....but let's get back to wholesome, nutritious eat-for-dinner food. I've included some treats, but most of these recipes are downright good for you...just don't mention that to the kids! The recipes in this book are ideal for a tea party, picnic in the yard, sleepover, lunchboxes, and of course, family dinners at home. Most of these recipes are easy enough for an older child to make on their own, but even a toddler can poke a stick into a grape. Stringing food on a stick looks like play, but it's serious business to a budding chef!

This series explores the concept of time in the broader context of Earth and space. It explains how the Sun, Moon, Earth and stars play a part in making time. The series breaks down the concepts explored in "Time and the Millennium" and explains them for a younger readership. This title looks at the Earth's orbit round the Sun and how it tilts to give us seasons, extremes of climate and differences between Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
