This sounds like a passing trend. But a good one for anyone that gets in on it at the right time. They'll all run out to buy the books, they'll all rave about how cute these books are at dinner parties while those of us without kids yawn, and then when the kids start catching on fire they'll put the books on the top shelf and move on to something else.
My kids love helping in the kitchen but we use regular cookbooks, or (increasingly) blog recipes and websites with new tastes and exotic ingredients. I love budget gourmet cooking and my children have no idea what a corndog is.
