Summary of Plot:

            Through this book a grandma makes chocolate chip cookies for her grand-kids, with the help of a dog and cat. Information about the different ingredients: such as how and where they come from are also a main element of the story. In the end, her grand-kids arrive at her house, and they enjoy the cookies.

My Reaction to the book:

            This book was informative and creative. Even at my age I was interested with learning about where the ingredients come from. The jokes of the animals were a great addition to the story. This isn't a cook book but it will help with food interests. My younger brother, when he was a child, would have loved reading this. He enjoyed learning about food and recipes, even at that young of an age. It will be of interest to many aspiring bakers.

Potential Problems:

No problems 

Recommendations:

I would recommend this book to those who like baking, especially chocolate chip cookies! It was very well done. I think it will help people know that making cookies takes much more work than going to the store and making the dough. Many hours of work have taken place before the ingredients even got to the store.
