From Booklist
Gr. 3^-6. Everything related to campfire cookery is covered here: packing equipment and supplies, building a fire, cooking without pots and pans, and making quick snacks for the trail. The pioneers may not have used nonstick cooking spray and sealable plastic bags, but they would recognize some of the foods represented, and so would anyone who has camped out with a scouting group. Even a novice cook can follow the simple recipes, which often label old favorites with jazzy new names, like "Who-o-o-s Chili" and "Hop Toad Popcorn." Heavy, slightly glossy pages make this book more durable than most other paperbacks. Linocut illustrations with colorful washes brighten every page. Carolyn Phelan

Customer Reviews

If you camp next to a grocery store - this book's for you!
The book COOKING ON A STICK is an intriguing title and may hint at being a simple book - but it's not. The recipes call for a can of non-stick cooking spray along with perishable foods such as hotdogs, fruit, eggs, etc. The recipe ideas are only suitable if one is camping next to a grocery store! There is even a recipe which suggests you let your child make a necklace out of dried fruit and cereal and that the child wear it around their neck for snack food. If you're trying to attract a bear this might be a great idea. I would not recommend this book for anything but the backyard camper. It is also not written at a level that your kids can read the recipes themselves, although the pictures suggest it is a children's book.

just right
This is a fun book for kids, and has a lot of common sense easy recipes they can follow. It starts off by teaching the basics of building a campfire, especially the safety involved, and putting out the fire. It has sections on cooking on a grill, cooking in a pouch, and on a stick. If you havne't doen these it is hard to describe, since they do not mean an animal on a spit here. This is good for cub scouts or other youth groups to teach basic cooking skills to kids in the woods.

COOKING ON A STICK is a handy, dandy little book.
COOKING ON A STICK (and in a pouch and on a grill) is a great little cookbook for kids.The pictures are bright and colorful, safety issues are clearly dealt with, and the recipes are fun and tasty. Who can resist Moose Lips
