I'm working on creating a booklist for my local public library. This book was one in consideration for this list.
This will not be on my manners booklist. I have the same problem with it, as I did the other Amy Krouse Rosenthal. It seems like a children't book written for adults. There's no story, the text is difficult to read, the illustrations are beautiful but more geared for an older person, someone who can appreciate the artistic quality, etc.

In this extension of the "Cookie" series, the concepts don't match the cookie-baking activity quite as well. In trying to define love-related concepts, the ideas sometimes become less meaningful rather than expressing the fullness of love that should be there. For example, "cherish" is explained as " there is nowhere in the universe I'd rather be than here in our kitchen, baking sugar cookies with you." But to me "cherish" feels like more than that. Where the previous books fully captured the me...more
Amy Krouse Rosenthal does it again. She has created a book that touches everyone -- no matter their age. Her "Cookie" books are a wonderful way to teach vocabulary & life lessons in relation to something we all love: cookies.
I plan to share her "Cookie" books with my MH students as a way to help define words & explore different types of literature. I also plan to use with my LA students (or maybe the LIFE group) to talk about ways to teach life lessons.
Recommended age: EVERYONE!!!

This book is cute. It is centered around sugar cookies. It has words on each page that describes love and respect. The author is crafty as she uses joins the concepts of sweets and love. This is another good read to help build community in your classroom and a nice little bedtime story for the little ones.
My favorite of the three "Cookies" books by Rosenthal. I like the charming, old-fashioned illustrations. I also like the recipe in the back and the big vocab words and the possibility there for teaching. I also like how this book really shows what love is like in its explanations of words.
Amy Krouse Rosenthal, you have become one of my favorites (it all started with Little Pea). Can we hang out sometime? What a charming, picturesque description of words about love. May we all put them into practice, and use your book as a gentle reminder of "the way we treat another's heart."
This was probably the sweetest of the 3 cookie books, and may have been a bit much at times. But it's a realy fun way to teach various aspects of love. I even smiled at a few because of the cookie-ness of them, but knowing about them in real life. (Like "unrequited" and "requited.")
This was a cute little book. It wasn't a story book like I thought it would be though, more like a vocabulary book. While it had nice pictures and definations of important words and a recipe in the back (I thought that was the best part) it was not real interesting to my 4 year old.
Very similar to the book "Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons," but I have to say that I love that book better than this one. Still a great concept of using cookies as "life lessons."

I doubted whether Charlie would last through this one. But he was quite captivated.
This would be an excellent book to expand a child's vocabulary.
Sweet book about the different words of love. Madelyn loved it.
Creepiest children's book I've read in awhile.

Loved it!
Cute!
Not as good as Cookies. I felt that they were reaching. These books are great though because we need many books on a subject like this.
