A very fun little book. Great photos of the oven over the years as well as other accessories and associated items. Could use another editing pass and some of it is a little repetitive but overall very nicely done.

This book is really cool. The ease of reading combined with the wonderful photographs made me feel like I was on a journey through the Easy-Bake Oven museum. There is background information about Kenner and timelines of important moments in their history. There is a picture and description of each model of Easy-Bake Oven and a chapter dedicated to advertising. There's even some recipes to try in the back.

The only complaint I have about this book is that several times information was repeated in different chapters, even word for word, which was a little bit annoying but honestly, the presentation of the rest of the book more than makes up for it.

If you're like me and enjoy weird histories, or you are just wanting a book to pass the time, see some cool things and learn a bit, check this one out.
