I love all of the Rosenthal/Dyer "Cookie" books. Through the simple act of baking a batch of cookies, we learn the meaning of various abstract behavioral concepts: honest (I ate an extra cookie), patient (I can wait for them to finish baking), respect (I give Grandma a cookie before taking one for myself). These are so sweetly done, not preachy or judgmental, just matter-of-fact in tone with illustrations of children and animals showing their best behavior.

This book uses cookies to explain concepts to children in ways that they can understand. For instance, “fair” and “unfair” are explained in terms of how many cookies you have, etc. It also features cute illustrations with animals wearing clothes.

This was a surprising like. The illustrations are not my style at all, but the way that Rosenthal manages to take the concepts of certain values and attributes and make them accessible to young children is fantastic.

This was a little too sweet for me but it is a nice book for helping little kids understand words like generosity, fair/unfair, sympathy, etc. Each word is explained by what the characters do with a cookie. Both the two year old and five year old like it and ask for it to be read often.

This is a cute children’s book that uses cookies in different contexts to demonstrate the meaning of words such as honest, trustworthy, proud, etc. Great way to demonstrate these concepts to kids!

A wonderful book about Cookies, but filled with life lessons we can all benefit from....while eating a cookie of course!

I liked this book pretty well. Each page has a character trait, mostly positive, and then relates it to cookies. For example, "respect means offering the very first cookie to your grandmother." There are over a dozen pages like that, all with cute kids and some anthropomorphized animals, plus one or two adults, too. It's a sweet book, and if I'd read it when my kids were young, I have no doubt we would related these words to our own behaviors in everyday life.
