Wonderful book for all ages November 30, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
My daughter is only 3, and we love this book. Together we read it and discuss the meanings of the words, to which she catches on quickly. The illustrations are beautiful and add immensely to the lessons on each page. We have reached our 'renew' limit at the library, and will now buy our own copy -- this is the type of book to hold onto and pass on. We will also buy a copy for her best friend this Christmas, it will make a great gift, much more lasting than a toy.
cookies are important July 22, 2006

This is the kind of book that children of all ages should read, or have someone read to them. I love the way the book compares everyday words with cookies! The golden retriever on the front of the book is adorable, too. It's a very educational, creative and memorable book.
The Best Way to Learn is While Enjoying a Cookie June 29, 2006

I bought this book for my husband who is known for baking the best tasting cookies in the small town where we live. The book is a delight to read and a great way to teach kids lessons such as sharing, patience, respect, trustworthiness, cooperation, compassion, etc. The illustrations are warm additions and you can almost smell the cookies.
A truly wonderful book June 13, 2006

This is such a wonderful book. I was attracted to Jane Dyer's lovely illustrations and fell in love with the story. By using chocolate chip cookies, Rosenthal explains such things as envy, greed, cooperation, kindness, etc in a manner that helps children understand and gives adults a reason to smile. Today is my daughter's 6th birthday. Rather than take in treats that would be forgotten quickly, she gave her kindergarten teacher and class a copy of this book as a present. The teacher (and class) loved it. This book would be a wonderful present for a young child (say kindergarten to first grade) and a welcome addition to any libary. I cannot recommend it enough.
What is better than COOKIES? May 16, 2006
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
My kids get this! Cookies is quickly becoming a favorite book at our house. Some of the words and concepts are difficult for kids to grasp, and admittedly not words that I work into daily conversation with my little ones. But having a book that so beautifully compares words like "modest", "fair", and "generous", with cookies makes sense to little minds. One of my favorite words is "open-minded". A bunny offers green cookies to a little girl and the captions reads, "I've never seen cookies like that before, but, uh, sure, I'll try one." A great lesson for adults too. This book has been a wonderful conversation starter with my children. But they always want to have a cookie after we read it!
