A Preview
From Little Jack Horner…
to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…
and In the Night Kitchen.
Children's books abound with stories about breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, sweets, cooking and more!
Come explore this appetizing exhibit about children's literary meals.
See how Pete’s father cheers up his son in William Steig’s Pete’s A Pizza.
Spend a Sunday meal together in Patricia Polacco’s Chicken Sunday.
Fancy something sweet, like Gene Zion and Margaret Bloy Graham’s The Sugar Mouse Cake.
Get inspired for a new recipe from our collection of literary cookbooks, featuring The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook. It was compiled by Kate MacDonald, L.M. Montgomery’s grand-daughter.
Hope to see you there!
