A Tiny Guide to Pickling

This is an adorable board book, and the illustrations are great. The listing says ages 0–6, but the vocabulary and concepts are well above that range. It works best as a read‑aloud where the adult explains things and the child asks questions, especially if they can connect the pictures to daily espresso‑making at home.We encourage hands‑on learning, but our kids are kept away from the espresso machines after essential parts went missing - the eldest is a genius with a screwdriver, which isn’t always good. They love books, so we’ll read this to them, but it’s honestly more for us than for them.

This would be a fun, unique book to give to the coffee loving parent in your life. It's well made and durable feeling (it is a board book, after all!). The pictures are bright, with the words being easily read. Is it a book that kids will gravitate towards? Probably not. Ours didn't particularly care for it after the initial reading. I think this would be a great addition to a coffee shop reading nook, too!

I know this is advertised for children, but I really learned a lot with this book. The book is a standard hard cardboard book that's easy for my toddler to turn the pages. It has a ton of information on espresso: the process of making it, the different drinks you can make with espresso, etc. It is really informative and so much fun to read. The illustrations are eye-catching and provide perfect visuals for the information. I've learned so much reading this book to my toddler and I think I'm more obsessed with this book than she is. Overall this is an absolute must have for coffee enthusiasts who want their children to have the same passion for coffee or even childless coffee enthusiasts who want to learn about espresso in an easy illustrated way.

This sweet board book is a great gift for new parents who love espresso. I got it for my nephew, whose parents make their own espresso at home. We thought it would be a comical gift, however, the book is very impressive. It takes the child through the story of how espresso is made. Starting at the bean harvest, each page takes the child through the process of how to make espresso and the tools used. It is simple and has nice pictures that would capture a child’s attention. My own toddler really enjoyed looking through the book, even though it was intended for her cousin!

I had to have this for my toddler and any future babies because before I earned the title of mom I was a professional barista. I still make coffee daily and have all the espresso machine, pourover, burr grinder, Nespresso, and coffee collection that is shown is this cute little book. I'm truly obsessed with coffee and could not resist this baby item. Overall the book is so cute, the illustrations are perfection. I will say though, it's more like a dictionary of coffee items than an actual story. Because of that my toddler was less engaged in this book than I had hoped. She'd rather go use her wooden play kitchen to make me a pretend coffee than sit through this book. So I made my own coffee and looked through the rest of it myself while she played nearby. Four stars, an adorable item but less exciting to my little one than I had hoped.

It’s a tiny, cute coffee-themed book that adds some personality to the coffee setup. The illustrations and size make it look great sitting next to the machine, and it’s the kind of little detail that makes the whole setup feel more intentional.Obviously, I wasn’t buying this for it to teach me how to make espresso. It’s basically coffee decor that happens to be a book, and for that, it does exactly what I wanted. ☕️

This book is perfect for any coffee lover expecting a little one. It would be the perfect small addition to a baby shower gift or a stocking stuffer. Parents know the importance of reading with their children from birth and it's even more of a fun activity when the book is about a topic of interest. The content of the book is pretty technical and not quite infant reading material, but the pictures are engaging and colorful. Because of the subject matter, my toddler doesn't return to it like he does to his favorite books about trucks and trains, but he did sit through the whole thing when his dad read it to him. Because of the content, it's probably best suited as a gift for a new parent or any parent who wants to share their passion for coffee with their child. It would also be charming in a coffee shop kids' area!

This board book is super sturdy with thick, durable pages that are easy for little hands to flip through. Kids will love looking at the bright, vibrant graphics, even if the actual espresso info goes right over their heads. Honestly, it is just as much for the parents as it is for the kids, it adds a great pop of color sitting out on a coffee bar and serves as a handy visual cheat sheet next to the espresso machine for different drink styles.Pros: Thick and sturdy board pages for toddlers, vibrant graphics, doubles as cute coffee corner decor, and makes a fun gift for coffee-loving parents.Cons: The actual espresso concepts are more for adults than toddlers.Overall, it is an easy 5 star gift for coffee-loving moms and dads who want a fun, durable book to share with their little ones right by the espresso maker.

This is such a cute book!!! I’m always trying to find some entertaining books for my one year old, and this one immediately stood out. The board book is sturdy, and there were no flaws or rips upon opening. It was a good size for my son to hold and turn the pages. As a coffee lover, I can appreciate the content, but even more so as I notice my son actually not trying to squirm out of my lap every time I try to read. The pictures are bright and fun, and it’s easy to follow. I even learned some things from the diagrams! Of course, an older child would understand it a lot more, but it still manages to hold my son’s attention, so I can see this being a versatile book for a range of ages. This is such a unique, fun book. A great addition to our bookshelf.

This is such a cute book and a prefect companion for a toddler who is obsessed with watching their parents use the grill. It details parts of the grill, types of grilling, and has sufficient warnings about how to stay safe around the grill. We have an electric grill, so I love that the book included this option along with the typical gas, propane and charcoal grills. The toddler loved this book and learned lots of new grilling words.

This is a fun summer read with my little one. It introduces lots of new vocabulary. My 2-year-old especially enjoys looking at all the different kinds of foods. It talks about a variety of different things that can be cooked "BBQ style" and different cooking techniques. The artwork is great, and fonts are easy to read. Lots of fun!

Cute tiny bbq book I got for a friend who loves to BBQ and has his own bbq business. He sues to teach kids and show them how he makes the food.
