Melissa & Doug is integrating its iconic playsets and play patterns into a whole new medium: books!
In partnership with Penguin Young Readers, the company is introducing three new books debuting Oct. 13, including Melissa & Doug: The Toy Kitchen Cookbook, Melissa & Doug: Play All Day: A Search-and-Find Book, and Melissa & Doug: What Do You See?: A Lift-the-Flap Blocks Book. Each book is geared toward kids ages 2 and up, and are designed for purposeful play and durability.
Melissa & Doug: The Toy Kitchen Cookbook teaches kids to read recipes and cook with their pretend foods. Developed alongside award-winning chef and author Sohui Kim, the toy kitchen cookbook makes a great gift for little aspiring chefs and features sturdy board pages, colorful images, and 16 recipes with step-by-step instructions.
Melissa & Doug: Play All Day: A Search-and-Find Book encourages kids to search each page for iconic Melissa & Doug toys hidden in familiar scenes, while Melissa & Doug: What Do You See?: A Lift-the-Flap Blocks Book invites kids to engage in open-ended play by lifting flaps on each page to build block creations. Each book helps kids develop their fine motor skills and sense of focus.
Parents and caregivers can learn more about these books ahead of their October release by visiting penguinrandomhouse.com.
