Sugar Cookies: A Loving Picture Book About Learning Words of Love for Kids (Ages 4-8)

My sister told me about this book. A lady read it during her friend's funeral to all the family and friends, since it so well expressed the way the woman had lived a full life. I couldn't wait to get it for my grand kids. As excited as I am to make cookies and memories with them after we read the book, I am even more excited to introduce words into their lives that you rarely hear in this world of "reality shows". They learn the meaning of "adore, endearment, cherish, protect," just to name a few. And it's explained in a way that will reach into their little hearts and take root. I smell "sugar cookies". Yum!

I bought this book for myself. I needed some lessons. Its a great book honestly!

I love all of these Cookie Books - so very sweet and a fun way to teach the children manners and "life lessons." Since I don't like this one as much as some of the others we own (Christmas book, etc.) I'm only giving it 4-stars, so maybe if you're going to buy your first "Life Lessons" book you might check out the other ones first, but it's definitely a nice addition to the collection!

Absolutely LOVE this book. I initially had the Christmas cookies book for Advent season, and then bought this one after the first of the year. The definitions of character traits or concepts related to 'what love is' are very well written in Amy Krouse Rosenthal's signature cookie metaphor. It is a perfect way to introduce the words and concepts to young ones in a way that they can 'digest' :). The illustrations are really very wonderful, too - each page seems to include animal characters as well as human, and there are many different ethnicities and family relationships represented.

Bought this for my little grandsons... great book to teach kids how to be patient, loving and understanding and more!

So sweet! I love reading this to my two year old and teaching her new meanings to express herself

Sweet, surprising, and a wonderful way to learn deep concepts.

Absolutely love the book! Beautiful illustrations, thoughtful examples of love and compassion, and great make-it-yourself cookie recipe! My 4y daughter enjoys reading it and making cookies!!!

I gave this to my 3 1/2 year old for Valentine's Day. It's a cute book, however it didn't hold my daughter's attention. We read every night, so she's used to sitting through books. Maybe when she's a bit older she'll appreciate all the explantation of the words. Although, when we got to the back page and we found out that there was a recipe to try we both got more excited.
