Honey Cookies

by Meredith Hooper, Allison Bartl (Illustrations)

For young Ben, nothing is better than his grandmother's honey cookies. But what exactly goes into making this special treat? Grandma decides it's a good time for Ben to find out. When he learns how to make honey cookies, he doesn't just find out how to bake cookies, he also discovers where all the ingredients in the recipe come from and whose help he really needs. Alison Bartlett's warm, vibrant illustrations accentuate Meredith Hooper's simple, lively text. Including an easy recipe for honey cookies, this is a perfect introduction to food and cooking for very young readers.

A sweet bedtime read.

[Jessica Lewers]

This book is a great picture book students would probably enjoy because I am sure a lot of them have baked cookies with their grandmas or watched bake cookies for them. This book does include silly things like adding unrealistic things into the cookies they are baking.

The perfect picture book for a toddler or young child who likes to help with cooking. A little boy and his gran make honey biscuits. On one level the entire book is a recipe, but it goes further by explaining where the ingredients come from. What do we need? A cow! To turn grass into milk, to make butter ... and so on, through all the different items. Little Cherub adores this book, and the honey biscuits we made were yummy too.

Great book for teaching children where food comes from. Excellent! And very creative way to share a recipe!

See my review for "A Cow, A Bee, A Cookie and Me." I have kids who still, 2 years after hearing the story in library, ask for it again to check out for themselves. That's a success.

Picture book for children that can be a great resource to have students find out that all sourts of things are needed before biscuits can be made.
