PIZZA! An Interactive Recipe Book

illustrated by lotta nieminen

(This week's #ReviewsDay pick is from cottager Kara LaReau.)

What it's all about...
The second title in this interactive recipe series (I reviewed the first title here), this is a reading AND cooking experience that allows readers to make pizza prom scratch — mixing ingredients, kneading dough, and spreading sauce, all while following a simple recipe.

Why I love it...
My little one loves to cook — this book allows him to make one of his favorite foods by engaging a series of ingenious (and super-fun) wheels, flaps, and levers!

Sample illustrations...

What's the kid-appeal?

What's the grownup appeal?
All of the fun of cooking without needing any parental supervision!
