Marketed for children, Probably. Bought by me for myself in a moment of weakness wishing to feel all babyish and without the pressures of my final year disseration, Yes. A mistake, Definitely. That pretty much sums up how I came to have these stars cooking away in my oven at about midnight having stayed up all evening and missed dinner, writing about 100 words of usefulness towards my 16,000 word target.
