I liked the way the author introduced abstract vocabulary such as "prosperity" and "charitable" and defined them in concrete ways that young children can understand. A great vocabulary developer!
25 months - O really loves this book and the original one as well. Heck it's about cookies and it has exceptionally cute pictures. The vocabulary learned in these book seems as though it would be over her head but she's seems very interested in their meaning. I've also heard her use more than one of these big concept words in her daily life! Blows me away! Sometimes when we read this book I will add a bit more explanation or reword things in a way that I think O will understand. It's a great discussion book and a book every kid should read a many times. We all need to have better manners and appreciate one another more.
Loved this addition to the "Cookie" series. Each word ties well with the act of baking Christmas cookies and the words chosen define "Christmas spirit." I liked "Tradition means each year at the same time we make the same cookies and wear our special matching aprons."
This book is another great cookie book by Rosenthal. She uses cookies to demonstrate life lessons/words in a holiday setting. Children will adore the use of cookies, and the holiday cookie recipe at the end.
The author uses words that are not common to students but that teaches them how to use in a context like christmas when they are trying to make cookies.
It teaches responsability , moderation,gracious, believe, joy and the book ends with peace means that none is worried about anyone else's cookies. and then Hope. measn I am filled with good feelings about what will be.
i liked the pictures and the vocal lessons and the recipe.
