Cook

The Cook is a male human character who appeared in JumpStart Math for Second Graders.

Appearance
The Cook is a moderately tall man with a round belly, gray stubble, and thick dark eyebrows. He wears a pale gray shirt and pants, a white apron, gray shoes, and a white hat. He is often seen holding a large ladel.

Personality and Characteristics
The Cook seems to be a pleasant and somewhat bumbling man. He appears to be rather heavy. When he is freed from the mirror, he accidentally falls on CJ and squashes him, after which he immediately shows sympathy to him.

In the Game
The Cook is one of the royal subjects that gets trapped in the mirror by the villain Ratso. He must be rescued by CJ, Edison, and the Princess. In order for him to be freed from the mirror, a potion must be brewed. The ingredients specific to the Cook's potion are: Royal Eggbeater, Royal Cookbook, Spatula, and Dentures. Like all of the other royal prisoners, he will appear in mirrors around the castle at the locations where ingredients can be found.

In books
In JumpStart 2nd Grade Math Workshop, the Cook appears with a much different design. He plays a couple of minor roles, such as making food for the eating contest CJ and Ratso participate in.
