From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K?Sesame Street's Cookie Monster is the baker in this rhyming story for beginning readers. He makes tray after tray of cookies that are eaten by "munchers" and "crunchers," "hikers" and "bikers," and other "cookie takers" who don't leave any treats for the cook until the very last batch. Full-color illustrations featuring familiar characters make the story appealing for preschoolers. The text is rhythmic and could also be set to music or made into a fingerplay. Because it shows a baker at work, the book could be used for a community-workers unit. A solid choice for those catering to young audiences.?Sharon R.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will read this book 1000's of times, September 4, 2000

By	R. Rostohar "rrr_texas" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A great read that invites lots of animation on the part of parents. My son started loving this book at about 14 months and is still reading it at 19 months. He gets excited every time a character he has seen on TV appears. The rythm is excellent, the book is exciting, and has a very happy ending. We take this one in the car and my son 'reads' it by himself. A gotta have....

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Early Step Into Reading, August 5, 2001

By	"jennemily" (Bethpage, NY United States) - See all my reviews

My daughter and I love this book (since about 18 months). The rhyming pattern is wonderful, the pictures are exciting, all in all, a great book. We like to try and find all the different characters on the page and see what they're doing. The ending is also a pleaser. It's a great transition book from picture books to short strories with a plot This is one of the best Early Step into Reading books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, August 7, 2003

By A Customer

This is a wonderful book. Not only does it feature characters that my two-year old daughter is already familiar with, but she loves the story and even feels bad for Cookie Monster when it appears that he will never get a cookie for himself. The illustration is wonderful and lively, and the text is large and easy to follow. The is a great beginner book for children.
