Spaghetti!: An Interactive Recipe Book (Cook In A Book)

A really nice interactive book, nice quality card however the little fork has broken. Think my 2 year old is still a bit young for this. She does enjoy reading it and I think we will get more enjoyment from it as she gets older.

Lovely book, my niece loved it. Fab interactive pages.

Grandsons favourite book

Originally bought this for my toddler as he loves lifting flaps and the fork to spin the Spaghetti is so original, I've not seen one like it. I hadn't though realised it's actually a proper recipe book, which is too detailed for him to understand but he likes the illustrations.

Bought as a gift arrived quickly and is loved by my nephew - great way to get engaged in reading and cooking!

Contrary to popular hype, these are not as interactive as one would expect and its quite difficult for toddlers to take the pieces out and replace them. All the videos you will see are of adults showing you how to play with them- they are just not interesting enough for kids. The quality is great and aesthetics are nice but these are targeted to mums not kids.

This book series is very cute. It’s interactive so it helps kids get excited about reading. We added this to our collection and I’m happy we did so. You do have to make sure the child puts the pieces that are removable back in the book or they may get lost. They are good quality but won’t stand up to actual play just pretend book play. I’d recommend these for the 2-4 year old age range. Shipping was fast and no issues with quality of item.

Kids love it, even as an adult i thought this was creative and entertaining :)

Ecco una versione più fluida, coinvolgente e curata della recensione: --- Acquistato come regalo per un bimbo di due anni appassionato di cucina, si è rivelato un libro davvero carino e stimolante. Probabilmente, però, è più adatto a bambini un po’ più grandi, intorno ai 3-4 anni, quando il controllo dei movimenti è maggiore e si riescono a maneggiare con più delicatezza gli elementi interattivi. Gli oggetti da utilizzare sono in cartone spesso e resistente, ma restano comunque delicati se affidati a manine molto piccole e ancora poco coordinate: il rischio che si rovinino è concreto. Nel complesso la storia è piacevole e ben costruita, e l’interattività è sicuramente il suo punto di forza, capace di coinvolgere e divertire. L’ho acquistato in inglese perché non era disponibile in italiano, ma a questa età la lettura è soprattutto interpretazione: conta molto di più la voce e la fantasia dell’adulto che accompagna il racconto rispetto al testo scritto. Un’idea regalo originale, da scegliere magari tenendo conto dell’età e della manualità del bambino.

So, I love the idea, it’s cute, and I understand the production costs, but for what it is, it’s just ok.

Auch wieder ein super tolles Buch aus der Reihe. Mein kleiner Sohn ist verrückt nach dieses Büchern.
