Amazon Synopsis:
After a rainy night Celia had a fun idea as usual. Who knew
that what started out as mud and grass clippings would turn out to be the most
delicious, delectable snack they or anyone else had tasted…yes, even Celia's
teenage brother, Jake. This is the second book of "The Yummy Adventures of
Celia & Cedric" series. Other books in the series are: "The Yummy
Adventures of Celia & Cedric: Amazing Apples!" "The Yummy

After the rain,
everything is muddy and wet outside, but that doesn’t stop Celia and Cedric
from going outside and having some fun. They decide to create something for a
snack shop. They end up with dirt balls. When Celia’s mom sees what they have
created, she invites them inside to make some dirt balls they can really eat.
I had my test baker
follow the recipe at the back of the book to create some of these dirt balls.
They were very good. I did find them a little sweet however, but we did add the
optional cranberries to the recipe. The recipe was easy to make – just dump all
the ingredients into the bowl and mix, then form into balls and roll in
coconut. We ended up with about 38 of them.
I like that the
story is fun, yet helps the child to learn about friendships, working together,
and problem solving. There is a “Nutrition Notes” page at the back of the book
that explains why a certain ingredient has been added to the recipe.
Celia and Cedric: Eat Dirt Balls is a great book for young children and I
would highly recommend it. I give it 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
authors for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest
review. A positive opinion was not required. All thought are my own.
