This scrumptious follow-up to the bestselling Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons captures the spirit of the holiday season.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal's timeless morsels of wisdom paired with Jane Dyer's cozy illustrations are as irresistible as the aroma of cookies fresh from the oven. Go ahead, take another bite!

 My favorite children's book November 19, 2008

If you have ever grappled with explaining an abstract concept to children, like "tradition" "disappointed" or the all-important "sharing," then Amy Rosenthal and Jane Dyer's "cookie books" are for you. Through the simple analogies of baking and eating cookies (something many children can relate to), Rosenthal explains those sometimes difficult-to-understand ideas/values like gratitude, appreciative, gracious, and many more. Jane Dyer's soft, expressive child/animal illustrations complement and illustrate the concepts. The "Christmas Cookies" book includes holiday-related words like joy, believe, celebrate and peace. Both of these titles are excellent choices for a child 3-6 years of age. I have donated both to my local public library and have given many children the books as gifts. I hope Amy Rosenthal and Jane Dyer are baking more cookie books for the future!
UNIQUE! November 18, 2008

As a mother of 5 and grandmother of one, I have read and enjoyed volumes of children's books. Amy Krouse Rosenthal's books have an ingenious and significant way of teaching children essential character traits. She skillfully, yet simply, represents these concepts of the heart by relating them to every child's clear understanding and love of cookies.
I applaud the author and illustrator! I wholeheartedly recommend these
2 books. EVERY child should own them! I hope Amy has more in the works!!!!
A must have for Rosenthal fans! November 17, 2008

If you liked "Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons" then you will love this one! Not your "traditional" holiday book, this is a great way for parents to help their little ones understand many "not so obvious" behavioral issues. This takes ideas that are often hard for little ones to grasp and puts it in a language they can understand. Trust me, this would be a perfect gift for any parent!

I was so excited when this book arrived. Let me first say, the illustrations are very cute and sweet. But as my husband and I read the book, our little one had no interest past the pictures. It's not little stories or thoughts of Christmas, it's like a very nice dictionary of good behavior. An example is that "Responsibility means putting away the cookie cutters...." not really what we were looking for. It does end with a nice message about peace and not wanting other's cookies. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't but it. Try "Snowmen at Night", or "A wish to be a Christmas tree"
