Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons

Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons is a 2006 picture book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal intended to communicate life skills.[1] Jane Dyer, who had previously illustrated Mem Fox's Time for Bed, illustrated Cookies with watercolor paintings of scenes such as picnics and old-fashioned kitchens.[2] The book uses situations relating to cookies as a pretext for defining a variety of traits.[3] Cookies is appropriate for children ages 4 to 8.[4] The book made The New York Times Best Seller list.[5] In The Winners! Handbook: A Closer Look at Judy Freeman's Top-rated Children's Books of 2006, Freeman describes Cookies as "old-fashioned sweet, without being cloying or didactic".[6] In 2008, Rosenthal and Dyer released a sequel called Christmas Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday Lessons.[7]
