in Frank Asch's _Milk and Cookies_ the author introduces the common childhood fears of monsters, and presents a story which helps children overcome that fear.

Mama, Papa, and baby bear are visiting at Grandma and Grampa's house. They spend the night. Baby bear looks through the cellar door to see Grampa feeding "a dragon" in the cellar, which is actually a wood stove. Later baby bear has a dream of a dragon coming upstairs, which eats all his milk and cookies. Crying baby bear is then taken downstairs by his father to see "the dragon." After that, baby bear is no longer scared; he and his grandparents and parents all eat milk and cookies.

My 3-year old son loves this book. He sympathizes with baby bear, and he loves the way the story is resolved, of course. I'd recommend this, as well as Frank Asch's book _Goodbye, House_ as excellent books for children aged 3.

I used to be a Teacher Aide for a daycare for kids ages 2-4. Every day before naptime the kids would beg me to read this book to them. And not just once but twice! They loved when the baby bear went down to see the dragon. And at the end of the story they would all shout the last line "milk and cookies"!! Since then I have had a baby of my own and would like to get a copy of this book that sure will be a favorite with my daughtor.

The author explores color and shape in it's simplest form to enable childres to absorb the illustration quickly and easily, thus they hear the full meaning of the words at the same time. Excellent teaching reading book for k-2

My 2 year old was given this book as a hand-me-down. We read it to him and he has insisted on reading it again, and again, and again.... I'm sure this book will be a long-time favorite!

This book captured the imagination of my 3 year old and truly delighted my 5 year old. We read this story almost every night. I've been searching for another copy of this book because we simply wore out my original copy

Milk and cookies are a favorite nighttime snack and this version of the story by Frank Asch is sure to please. My little granddaughter had me read it over and over again without tiring of the simple and thoughtful story. Even the size of the book is appealing to those little hands. A sure winner!

My 2 year old loves this story! There is one part in particular that she loves - SPOILER ALERT - - - at one point in the story an imaginary Dragon makes an appearance and says "I'M HUNGRY!" I always read that line in my best Dragon Voice and she loves it! Now she says that about herself trying to make it sound like the dragon!

It's a great feel good story. It's a quick read so it makes for a perfect bedtime tale! I highly recommend it to anyone!

This is a wonderful childrens book that my 5 grandaughers love! I read to them almost every time I see them!
This book was in almost mint condition and I am sure my two new grandsons will love it too!!
Thank you

My 2 year old son loves this book. It has all his favorite people in it, Mama, Papa, Grandma & Grandpa. He also loves milk and cookies too! This books has everything my son loves! He even likes monsters! He has to have this to read at least 2 times before bedtime and naptime!

This book really brings out imagination in young children. The big illustrations help for them to see the picture fully with the words.
