Summary

I chose to look at this book to see the simplicity that is needed for a recipe book for my age range I also wanted to get a idea of the drawing and images that are used for when I develop my recipe page. I also wanted to look at some of the icons and images, which are used in the method, and each step.

Book Formats


Book Format Ideas

I have done some research into other ways a book can be presented other than paper from this I have found:

·                  IPad Books
·                 Kindle Books
·                Audio Books

Digital book have become very popular since the release of the iPad and kindle and have a number of way, which children can interact with the book making learning fun.
