I gave a copy of this book to a 5 year-old for her birthday and her parents claim it was her favorite gift! (Included the makings for smores).

Better Homes and Gardens Junior Cook Book, first edition, 1955, Meredith Publishing Co. Hardcover, 3 ring binder with plastic protection page. Has many dividers for beverages, sandwiches, candy, cookies, etc.. Also sections on weights & measurements, cooking terms and safety. All pages are present. There are two pages at the back that need reinforcement of the holes & the pages are somewhat tanned with age. Otherwise I think that would make a great gift for the little cook or the big cookbook collector. Wonderful photos and illustrations all bring me back to when I was a kid.
