Who's home for dinner? What shall we cook? What do we need to buy? And don't forget the washing-up! Helping with real tasks is a natural progression from pretend play, and is a crucial stage in a child's development. Achieving a shared goal encourages a sense of responsibility, and develops many skills useful in later life. Simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.

Cook It! (Helping Hands) Reviews

  • Maura Curran

    This is a simple, appealing little book that follows a little girl and her dad through making pizza. The text is designed more as questions for an adult to read to a child and not so much as narration - asking what goes on next, and so on. I appreciate that it focuses on a multiracial family, with dad actively engaging in cooking with the toddler. This is somewhere between board book and regular paper - durable enough for young kids. I'd read this if you're looking for a good book for a little conversation at a very basic level, but not if you're looking for a standard story (even though the actual events are pretty standard.)

  • Denise

    Fun little reader to teach how jobs need to be done start to finish.

    See lots of teaching conversations with this little gem. One place I wish the picture was more detailed was at the store when they talk about amount due and change back - but that is when imagination comes into play ... Let's say we owe $10 and we give them $20 ... even for littles, this would be a fun lesson in life skills.

  • KaitandMaddie

    Lots of discussion possible as you read.

  • Kitty Wibisono

    The books help children for having their practical life by helping parents to prepare simple meals. . Simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between parents and our child.

  • Sarah

    I could take or leave this book, but it's my 21-month-old's absolute favorite right now. She asks for it by name.
