Is this really the most promising place to start?

Nathaniel saw my cookbook was out and started deciphering the recipe upside-down, from his side of the counter.  With a bit of help, he came up with:

“Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.”

After defining “position” and “third,” I think it would be better to start him out with a picture book or two before we get deeper into casseroles and soups.
