Cook It! (Helping Hands)

Excellent over all

really nice book, very good quality , lovey pictures , very understandable for small children .

This book arrived on time, in perfect conditions and with beautiful colored pictures, I'm planning to buy some more of this collection.

This particular book is one of our favorites in the Helping Hands series. The little girl goes to the store (on the back of a bike), helps buy ingredients, and cooks a pizza at home with her family, helps set the table and clear up. She chooses vegetables and helps lay out a pizza -- even young kids can imitate some of the actions, and my daughter loves the page with the pizza topped to look like a face.(I'm reposting my review of the series as a whole here.) This series of books is oddly hard to search for -- as a tip, search for Georgie Birkett and Jess Stockham to find all of them that I've turned up so far; searching just for Helping Hands brings up mostly unrelated books.The series as a whole is fantastic -- all the books have diverse characters even in the background, nontraditional families and gender roles, often pictures of urban life that feel modern, and kids doing interesting and real activities that they may actually do. I do note that these books aren't a straightforward read, because there's relatively little text for a lot of stuff happening on the page, and the text has no markers to tell you who's talking. When I read these to my daughter, I spend a lot of time talking about what's happening on the page and explaining, rather than just reading the text. I like that, but I suggest taking a look at the preview if you're not sure if that's for you.

loved it

Perfect book for your little chef!

Book was a little more torn up than I expected.
