If it wasn't for the fact that my 3 year old son loves this book I would probably only give it 3 stars, but this is the 2nd time in a month that he has chosen this book from the library. I call him "Mr. Cookie Baker" since he has taken a recent interest in baking cookies, which is adorable. Reading this book really sparked that interest for him. I like the recipes at the end--we made the oatmeal raisin and they were good. The illustrations are just ok, but the colors are bright and there are lot...more
This "process book" shows the day in a life of a cookie baker and his wife. It has great text and lovely, creative illustrations. The words appear on the left page with a border that gives extra details or fun pictures into the process--cookie cutters, ingredients, and of course, the cookies themselves. The right page features the main illustration as we follow Mr. Cookie Baker. My daughter absolutely loved this book, and it was one I still enjoyed reading after dozens and dozens of times.
Cute story that would be best read during a lesson on measurement. It shows students how measurement is directly related to baking (something that may draw on student's prior knowledge). The teacher could model objects that would be found in a baker's kitchen such as a measuring cup and measuring spoons.
A baker locates and measures the ingredients he needs to make cookies. This is a great book for children because it introduces measurement. The book is a great illustration book because it shows measurement spoons and cups.

Natalie likes cookies, and making them, so I thought she'd like this book. She did, but not enough for a repeat reading. It has very simple info on baking cookies and lots of cool cookie cutter shapes in the illustrations.
A fun and tasty way to explore measurement and counting. The book mentions different measuring tools that the students can identify. Students can engage in counting the cookies. This story can be accompanied by actual cookies, a recipe, or actually baking cookies (depending on resources).

mi princesita Erika calco todo el libro cuando tenia como 6 anos y le mande fotos de cuando los estaba dibujando a la autora del ,libro y la autora pusolas fotos en su website :) fue como en el 2009 o 2010
Loved by an almost three year old. It helps that I've been baking cookies and involving my son in the process. Then we read the book again and it all comes together for him.
A story about a baker and how he measures how to cook. The students would be exposed to cooking related measurement terms. I would bring in examples of each to share.

A good children's book that uses bright illustrations to show a baker using various utensils, measuring cups and spoons, and a kitchen timer to make cookies.
Great, straightforward non-fiction-esque narrative that very small children can understand and enjoy.
I love this book, but have some sugar cookie dough and decorating sprinkles on hand for after you read it!!!
Not my favorite but Miles couldn't get enough of it. We had to renew it three times.

Great for cookie story time. Five words max per page.
A great pick for storytime--even with toddlers.

cookie lovers everywhere
Mr. Cookie Baker gets up early, pets his cat, and then gets to work making lots of yummy cookies in fun shapes like giraffes, dinosaurs, and airplanes. The cheerful candy colors and simple pictures may inspire you to try the cookie recipe in the back of the book. This is a wonderful book for young children.
Includes receipes for sugar cookies and icing :)
