Praise
“This charming and fastidiously complete resource has been reissued thankfully by the New York Review Children’s Collection…. Mud Pies delights because, like the very best children’s books, it gives young folks their due. Winslow’s recipes appeal to the considerable wit, sophistication and imaginative prowess of many young children…. Winslow’s book is a gem.” —Prospero, on The Economist website
