Emma ★★★★★

The teamwork message lands without feeling preachy, and my four-year-old now narrates the whole shopping trip while we make our own tamales. The "scoop, squeeze" page is her favorite.

Natalie M. ★★★★★

My kids ask for this one almost every night now, and I catch them saying "when we work together, we've already won" while they scoop and squeeze their pretend masa. The shopping scene with Max, Mia, and Pablo gets my youngest giggling every time.
