Pancakes!: An Interactive Recipe Book (Cook In A Book) Board book – Picture Book, October 24, 2016

"Pizza!: An Interactive Recipe Book" is a beautifully designed gem that captivates both young readers and parents alike. As someone with a designer background, I truly appreciate the thoughtful aesthetics and craftsmanship that went into creating this book.It stands out not just as a sliding children’s book but as an imaginative and engaging experience.The interactions are brilliantly conceived, providing a creative and satisfying experience that goes beyond mere novelty. Each page turn feels like an invitation to explore the joy and love embedded in the act of cooking. It's a wonderful way to show little ones that making food is not just about the ingredients but an act of love and creating memories together. This is particularly special as my culture is all about cooking and eating as moments of deep connection with loved ones.This book is incredibly engaging and well-crafted, making it a treasured addition to any child's library. It’s one of those rare finds that I know I will cherish and hope to pass on to my children’s children, ensuring that the joy and love of cooking continue to be shared for generations.

This is my daughter enjoys this book. It is interactive and fun for toddlers who can focus. The book engages them by having them open, pull, tug, spin, and mix the ingredients to make pancakes!

I love an interactive book!! These are so cute and I want them all!!

Bought as a gift but what an awesome and fun book series!

The book reads well, and my daughter enjoys the interactive pages. The quality of the book and illustrations are amazing, but for almost $20, I expected more interactive elements. I bought it based on an ad that made it seem really exciting, but it fell a bit short.

I love this series and it’s one of my 1 year old’s favorite books. He loves interactive books so these series of books packs a variety of different interactivity you don’t quite get from other books. For some reason, the pancake one specifically seems to be his favorite right now. He’ll push all the others aside for this one. My only con is there are 2 pages for an interactive pancake to go, but only one pancake. It made me think there was a mistake but the description says one pancake to put on both pages and the photos show one pancake. It’s odd to take one pancake from one area of the page and then put it on the other side based on the “commands.” The second page even says “when both sides are brown, put it on the plate.” And technically, the “interactive pancake” is “bubbly and undercooked” on one side and brown on the other, as the first page with the pancake does say to “flip when bubbles form.” So, might be picky, but I just wish there was a specialized pancake per each page. The cookie book even has 2 interactive cookies, so I felt 2 pancakes wouldn’t have been a big lift. Because then after you put the pancake on the plate on the next page you have to go put it back on the skillet to have it for the next reading. I feel silly bringing this up but having read this book over 50 times with my toddler, it really upsets the flow. We start to read and I get to the page and I have to tell him “oh wait.” And then have to flip the page and go get the pancake on the plate to put on the skillet. Other than that, I really really enjoy these books. They make me and my 1 year old happy!

Simple and fun interactive book for littles. I think this book will grow with us as we can use it as a recipe book when my kids get older. I can’t imagine the removable pancake lasting a long time. Wish it came with extra pancakes in case the one gets lost.

Adorable Children’s cooking book. The graphics and great and it helps them to learn tools and ingredients. The text is smaller than I thought so I’d say the age range is about 6+ but overall love this book.
