MR Cookie Baker

As sweet and satisfying as holiday baking, here is a beautiful update of Monica Wellington’s “Mr. Cookie Baker.” In this book, youngsters can follow the process of measuring, mixing, baking, decorating, and eating cookies. With six new full-color pages, a handsome new jacket, educational tie-ins, and more recipes, this is the perfect supplement to early math units on sequencing, sorting, measuring, and telling time. The simple, straightforward behind-the-scenes view of a bakery makes it a splendid addition to Monica Wellington’s other nonfiction for the very young, such as “Zinnia’s Flower Garden.” Yummy in any season!
