內容簡介
內容簡介 This looks like a baking book. It's actually a thinking book. It looks like a baking book. It's actually teaching your child how to think. When Allegra decides to bake a cake, things don't go perfectly. Ingredients spill. Steps get mixed up. It would be easier if someone stepped in and fixed it... ...but they don't. Instead, Allegra learns to pause, think it through, make a plan, and try again. This isn't just a story. It's a framework for real-life skills. Allegra Bakes a Cake introduces children ages 3-8 to executive function-the core skills behind: Following steps Staying focused Solving problems Managing frustration Building independence All through a simple, relatable baking experience. What makes this book different: ✔️ Story + real recipe Read it, then bake it. Learning happens through doing. ✔️ Teaches independence (without saying "be independent") No one rescues Allegra. She figures it out. ✔️ Built on the BAKE framework: B - Brainstorm (What are we making?) A - Arrange + Act (Set up and start) K - Keep Going (Mistakes happen-try again) E - Evaluate (and Eat!) (Reflect and celebrate) ✔️ Designed for real life with kids Messy. Imperfect. And exactly how learning actually happens. Perfect for: Parents who want more than just another bedtime story Families who love baking together Educators focused on early learning and life skills Gift-givers looking for something meaningful (and actually used)
