BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K, EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
All the instructions for making spaghetti are contained in this adorable interactive cookbook. The child can interactively pour the oil into the pan, open a can of tomatoes, boil a pot of water, drop in the spaghetti, and even check to see if it's done with the included removable fork. Other pages include draining, grating cheese, and -again with the pop-out fork- twirling the spaghetti and pretending to eat it.
Spaghetti is so cute! AJ has been playing with it all afternoon. She did all the "fun stuff" (her words). We even made spaghetti ourselves using the directions given in the book (and adhering to the warning about hot oil and hot water) and it was delicious. Perfectly appropriate directions for a child to understand - lots of pictures of the ingredients, and AJ was excited to get a grown-up to help her cook. Highly recommended, but in a library, that removable fork is going to get lost.
