Reader reviews:

"Who Wants a Cookie? is an adorable story of love and home-baked goodness. This story tugged my heartstrings because my mom often made us homemade chocolate chip cookies. The images by Mary Barrows are breathtaking and really bring the characters to life. Anyone who loves the love of a good chocolate chip cookie will LOVE this story."

“This is a delightful story that brings back fond memories of my “cookie” experiences growing up.  Beautifully illustrated, the story captures the many ways baking cookies brings warmth and love into our lives from the perspective of a class of third grade students.   I look forward to reading this story to students in my school district and I am inspired to try the recipes included in the book.”

“This is a very different sort of book and one I wish we had growing up. Not only do you get a story but wonderful recipes for making chocolate chip cookies. I think this is a great idea and am sure children of all ages will love reading it. Especially if Mom makes the cookies 1st.”
