3.0 out of 5 stars Mmmmmm.... no., July 6, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learn Italian in the Kitchen: A Parent/Child Activity Kit (Living Language Parent/Child Activity Kit) (Paperback)
It's hard to explain why exactly, but this book didn't catch the attention of anybody in my household. The tiny vocabulary and phrases section at the beginning of each chapter is kind of handy, containing words and phrases like please, thank you, pass me, spicy, oven, etc., mostly keeping in the spirit of the kitchen theme. The included cassette tape is good for ear and pronunciation training. But the activities -- which range from gathering dry alphabet letters from alphabet soup to sticking stickers on loosely sketched pictures of bowls, trays, etc., to actually doing a little cooking -- just didn't strike a chord with us.

Is it right for your family? If your kids like hanging around in the kitchen with you and you have time to sit down with them and go through the drills and activities (and seek out things like dry alphabet noodles and cookie ingredients), then quite possibly it is. All I can tell you is, it just didn't catch on in my house... and we live in Italy.
