===Sheet Music===
+
===Storage===

* These objects raise environment levels and add homely touches. Most are also non-interactive.
Similar to the way the fishing books work, sheet music books do not add to actual [[Game Help:Sims 3 Guitar|guitar skill]], but instead allow sims to add more songs to their repertoire. Once one of these books have been read once, it will be destroyed.

===Surfaces===
===Child Development===
+
* These objects add homely touches and provide a place for laying down objects.
 
+
Child development books can be read to toddlers by teen, young adult, adult, or elder sims.  The books help increase the skill level of the [[Game Help:Sims 3 Toddlers#Skills|toddler]]. Once the book is completely read to the toddler they can pick it up and read it by themselves. (Edit by Aqua666: If you put the book on the ground the toddler can read it without having another sim read it to them first.)
+
 
+
Sims with the Childish trait can read and enjoy a Child Development book regardless of age.

* These objects enable Sims to quickly travel from one place to another.
As your sim's cooking skill increases they can read recipes to create more complex and satisfying meals.  For more information on all the recipes available as well as cooking skill, see: [[Game Help:Sims 3 Cooking|Cooking & Recipes]]. Note: once one of these books have been read once, it will be destroyed.
