Sugar Cookies
by
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Illustrated
by Jane Dyer and Brooke Dyer
Love
can be expressed through a variety of words and in many different ways.
Explaining these concepts to children can be challenging as the
differences can sometimes be minute. Using sugar cookies in each
example, the author defines words such as forgive, supportiveness,
adore, and selfless.
Children will love the analogies featuring sugar cookies as it breaks
the words down into basic concepts and examples that can be easily
understood. The illustrations accompanying each word exemplify
tenderness and caring. Images of animals are liberally sprinkled
throughout the book and it’s impossible not to smile at the dog helping
lick the bowl or the young girl sharing with her horse. SUGAR COOKIES:
SWEET LITTLE LESSONS ON LOVE would be an excellent book to use in a
children’s group focusing on positive social skill building. SUGAR
COOKIES: SWEET LITTLE LESSONS ON LOVE would also be an outstanding
resource for teachers and parents for Valentine’s Day as the many
facets of love are explained and illustrated in a heartwarming and
touching manner.
