===Sheet Music===
 
 
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.

===Child Development===
 
 
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.

===Recipes===
 
 
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.
