This cookbook tells an abbreviated version of Sheeta’s story from the movie in order to showcase its recipes in context—like the breakfast Sheeta and Pazu share in a cave and the stew Sheeta makes for the airship pirates. Then there are extra recipes at the end that are inspired by the movie—including candy shaped like the crystal necklace!
Each recipe includes a difficulty indicator; the majority of them are labeled as “easy,” and only one is at the highest level of “difficult.” I love the idea of getting young readers more excited about the characters and action by using the recipes in this cookbook to add more immersion to the experience—not to mention developing a new skill. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol, and the violence rating is for mild assault, battle scenes, and gun use.
