Kitchen stories for babies can begin with bright pictures, rhythm and rhyme, and songs, because babies LOVE to hear your voice. Try Lunch by Denise Fleming; Tickle Tum by Nancy Van Laan; One Little Spoonful by Aliki; and Cows In The Kitchen by June Crebbin. If you are ready for a "real story" don't forget the classic, In The Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak.
