PreS-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.
