Customer Reviews

I have made this!

I have used the recipe at the back of this book and copied it into my cookbook. It is very good and I recommend it...especially to folks who, perhaps, don't much like flan (me). It opened up flan for me and I have since investigated other variations. Personally, I thought the story was a bit strange, but the recipe is awesome.

But have you TASTED Nanita's flan?

Call me a skeptic, but I think there are better ways to make flan. Soy sauce? Crabmeat? Pickle relish? Nanita's flan recipe wouldn't go over well here in rural Manitoba. Yuck!Still, it's not a bad book. The pictures are nice, and the accompanying 8-track tape has some catchy tunes ("Walk With Me Jesus" played on the zither is an especially nice touch.)

A thoroughly entertaining story for young readers.

Campbell Geeslin's How Nanita Learned To Make Flan will reach ages 3-8 with a survey of a poor shoemaker's daughter's decision to make her own shoes for her first Communion. Kids with good reading skills will appreciate this tale of her efforts.

Enchanting story for any kid, the magical Geeslin touch
