3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Texas Books, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Molasses Cookies (Hardcover)

This reassuring story of a child's concern about moving also reveals the hardship of our immigrant forebears and some traditions which helped the settlers and later generations flourish. Erica is sad about leaving behind her best friend and her school. But the move to New Braunfels has the advantage of bringing her close to her grandmother who recruits her help in making molasses cookies for Christmas. This book will give elementary age children comfort about changes in their lives while they learn of an interesting time in Texas history and the holiday customs which came with the settlers from Germany.
