The goal page gets a huge cheer every time!
Por fin, algo suyo
Casi nada del fútbol está pensado para un peque de tres años. El partido acaba después de la hora de dormir, y noventa minutos son unos ochenta y cinco más de los que aguanta.
Esto es lo primero que es suyo de verdad. Todo el Etihad en su regazo, cada vez que lo pida.
Cada página tiene su propia narración del partido, pensada para peques. Aquí tienes un trocito de cada una.
Aquí suenan unos segundos de cada página. En el libro, cada página dura alrededor de un minuto.
La narración de este libro está en inglés.
¿Qué se levanta de la página?
expand_moreCinco dobles páginas, y todas se levantan al abrirlas. El estadio, los equipos saliendo al campo, la entrada que detiene el juego, el tiro libre con la barrera delante, y el balón entrando. El partido se va montando solo mientras pasan las páginas.
¿Qué hace el sonido?
expand_moreHay un botón en cada página, y un comentarista narra ese momento: qué acaba de pasar y por qué. Explica qué es una falta, por qué el árbitro camina hacia atrás, para qué está ahí la barrera. Es el partido contado por el hombre del micrófono, no un cántico ni un efecto de sonido.
¿En qué idioma está la narración?
expand_moreEn inglés, de principio a fin. Está grabada para niños, así que es una voz de partido de verdad, pero a la altura de un crío de cinco años.
¿Para qué edad es?
expand_moreA partir de tres años, y aguanta hasta los siete más o menos. Los más peques van a por los desplegables y los botones. Los mayores empiezan a escuchar lo que el comentarista les está contando.
¿Se puede bajar el volumen o apagarlo?
expand_moreLas dos cosas. Tiene control de volumen e interruptor, así que puede sonar fuerte un sábado por la tarde y bajito en el asiento de atrás del coche.
¿Necesita pilas?
expand_morePilas AAA, ya puestas. Funciona en cuanto abres la caja.
¿Es oficial del club o hecho por aficionados?
expand_moreSí, con licencia oficial. El escudo, los colores, los cánticos, las ilustraciones: todo aprobado por el propio club. Aquí no hay nada que no sea oficial, y nada se fabrica sin su visto bueno.
¿Cuánto tarda en llegar?
expand_moreDe tres a cinco días en Europa, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. Tenemos existencias en cada sitio, así que tu pedido sale de un almacén de tu propio país.
¿Y si no nos gusta?
expand_moreTreinta días, devolución del importe completo y sin preguntas. Si no sale como esperabas, dínoslo y lo arreglamos.

A tiny Etihad that opens right in their hands!

Our little William has carried the City pop-up book from room to room all week. Being able to turn the sound down is very welcome after the sixth replay! There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign.
Grace R. 5/5 Verified
We opened Victoria's parcel after dinner and ended up doing our own commentary too. The buttons are easy to spot and give a good response. Only thing I would change is making the commentary a little longer. Feels special without being fussy.

My grandchild Toby recognised Etihad at once and would not stop smiling. Each bit of commentary follows the picture, so it is easy for a young child to understand. There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign.

It took Harvey about ten seconds to find every sound button. There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign. Being able to turn the sound down is very welcome after the sixth replay!

By lunchtime, Joseph already knew the order of all five scenes. Much nicer than another plastic toy. There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign.
