This is the story of the cookie-store cat. I honestly could not stand this book. It has no plot or real story. It just talked about things the cookie-store cat did which were bland and mediocre. I would not read this to children because it does not foster a good sense of story line.
Three cooks take in a cat that they find outside one day. Each of them has a part in taking care of the cat. This book shows the loving town and how they all pitch in to help each other. Recipes with simple instructions are also included at the end. This is a cute and fun book for students with pets to read.
This was a favorite of all my children. I probably read it over a hundred times and yet I love it.
The cat who lives at the cookie store has the best life. He has an owner who loves him, friends, and fresh cream daily. The story and pictures are vibrant. Rylant even includes recipes at the end of the book.
The Cookie-store Cat is a story about exactly what the title says. I think it was written to be an enjoyed cross between cute animals and delicious pastries. The story surrounding the cat and the cookie store is not too complex, and there for I think this is a great book to read to your class.
What the life this little cat has. He gets to be around sweets and nice people all day where he lives which is at the Cookie- Shop. Everyone in town loves the Cookie-Shop Cat. The owner of the Cookie-Shop found him one morning while going into work. So, took the cat into his shop and gave it a place to live and food. The owner even has Christmas dinner with the cat. Such a cute story to read to young children when talking about pets and their love for them.

This is the story of a cat who lives in the cookie store. Three bakers take care of him and all of the customers and townspeople love him very much. He is very well trained and loved by everyone.

This is a great story of friendship among people and animals. It is probably most appropriate for K-2 grade.
