The commentary and moving pages are absolutely brilliant!
Finalmente, una cosa per i piccoli
Quasi niente del calcio è pensato per un bambino di tre anni. La partita finisce dopo l'ora della nanna, e novanta minuti sono circa ottantacinque in più di quanti ne regga.
Questa è la prima cosa del calcio che è davvero sua. Tutto Stamford Bridge in grembo, ogni volta che lo chiede.
Ogni pagina ha la sua telecronaca, fatta per i bambini. Eccone un pezzetto per ciascuna.
Qui senti qualche secondo per pagina. Sul libro ogni pagina dura circa un minuto.
La telecronaca di questo libro è in inglese.
Che cosa si alza dalla pagina?
expand_moreCinque doppie pagine, e ognuna si alza quando la apri. Lo stadio, le squadre che entrano in campo, il fallo che ferma il gioco, il calcio di punizione con la barriera davanti, e il pallone che entra. La partita si costruisce da sola mentre girano le pagine.
Che cosa fa il suono?
expand_moreC'è un pulsante su ogni pagina, e un telecronista racconta quel momento: che cosa è appena successo e perché. Spiega che cos'è un fallo, perché l'arbitro cammina all'indietro, a che cosa serve la barriera. È la partita raccontata dall'uomo al microfono, non un coro e non un effetto sonoro.
In che lingua è la telecronaca?
expand_moreIn inglese, dall'inizio alla fine. È registrata per i bambini, quindi è una vera voce da partita, ma tarata su un bambino di cinque anni.
Per che età è?
expand_moreDai tre anni in su, e regge fino ai sette circa. I più piccoli ci stanno per i pop-up e i pulsanti. I più grandi cominciano ad ascoltare quello che il telecronista sta raccontando.
Si può abbassare il volume o spegnerlo?
expand_moreTutte e due. Ha il regolatore di volume e l'interruttore, così può essere forte il sabato pomeriggio e piano sul sedile posteriore.
Servono le pile?
expand_morePile AAA, già dentro. Funziona appena apri la scatola.
È roba ufficiale della squadra o fatta dai tifosi?
expand_moreSì, con licenza ufficiale. Lo stemma, i colori, i cori, le illustrazioni: tutto approvato dalla squadra stessa. Qui non c'è niente di non ufficiale, e niente viene prodotto senza il loro via libera.
Quanto tempo ci mette ad arrivare?
expand_moreDa tre a cinque giorni in Europa, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti. Abbiamo scorte in ciascuno di questi paesi, quindi il tuo ordine parte da un magazzino nel tuo stesso paese.
E se non ci piace?
expand_moreTrenta giorni, rimborso completo, senza fare domande. Se non è come speravi, diccelo e sistemiamo tutto.

The Stamford Bridge pop-up got the biggest smile!

Tiny Liam gave us a huge "wow" when the stadium appeared! Opening the stadium in 3D feels much more exciting than a flat picture. We have heard the goal call more times than I can count. Feels special without being fussy.

Maisie's first glance turned into half an hour on the floor. The free-kick wall is the page we keep going back to. Maisie asks us to do the crowd noise in the background. Much nicer than another plastic toy.

Already Chelsea mad, Steven now has a little Stamford Bridge for the carpet. Small fingers can lift the scenes without needing much help. We have heard the goal call more times than I can count. A sweet way to share football together.

Matchday with Faye now starts by opening the Stamford Bridge page on the kitchen floor. Five scenes tell a proper little match without dragging on. Faye asks us to do the crowd noise in the background. Simple idea, done really well.

Every replay gets Lee doing the same excited goal face. The commentary lasts long enough to hold attention, then the page moves on. We have heard the goal call more times than I can count. One of those gifts that actually gets used.

I gave Rhea this after their first Chelsea match and it landed perfectly. It is slightly smaller than I pictured from the photos. Opening the stadium in 3D feels much more exciting than a flat picture. Glad I went for this one.
