Let's Make Bread is an accessible and well written guide to breadmaking aimed at middle grade readers. Released 25th Aug 2022 by Norwood House Press, it's 32 pages and is available in hardcover and paperback format. 

Author Mari Bolte has written a fun series of activity books slanted toward young readers with food related DIY activities. This particular volume includes step by step illustrated instructions start to finish, for producing a simple loaf of bread along with some serving suggestions. All steps are clearly photographed with specific and complete tools and ingredients lists. The writing is simple and understandable with specific steps to follow for a successful outcome. She squeezes in an impressive amount of chemistry and background info without being condescending at all. The vibe of the entire series is upbeat, excited, and cool. 

Five stars. This would be a superlative choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, activity/makers' groups, or gift giving. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
