Ideal and Fun for the Beginning Reader

Customer Rating:
I purchased this book as part of The Family Giving Tree back-to-school drive. I volunteered to purchase and assemble two K-1 backpacks and the organization asked us to include a "beginning reader" book for the children.

Seeing this book, I fell in love with the story of a young gator who really wants a cookie and learns how to ask for one PROPERLY. The story conveys the importance for patience and asking for things with grace.

This book was part of a buy 3, get 1 free deal which was great-- I ended up donating the remaining 2 books to my colleagues who were also assembling backpacks.

Overall, this is a good book that encourages the importance of good manners while staying funny and interesting.

Such a fun book!

Customer Rating:
We've had this one for a while, and we read it so often that it's getting tattered. This book is a delight. It is funny, and the illustrations are darling, and the words are not too hard. We can't call it "reading" anymore, because we've all memorized the book. It is an adorable book and Level 1 is the perfect spot for this -- it is just past a phonics reader.

May I Please Have a Cookie?

Customer Rating:
I bought this at my son's preschool book fair when he was 4 1/2. While he loved it, I found my daughter, then 2 1/2, REALLY loved it and it immediately became a favorite. We have read it over and over, always enjoying it and quoting from the book (especially when I make cookies!). My daughter never fails to laugh when Alfie's mustache falls off. A truly fabulous book with wonderful illustrations that I don't mind reading again and again. Unfortunately, I left my copy on the airplane this summer and have to buy it again (there's no way I couldn't replace this one!).

Definite Hit!

Customer Rating:
We all love this book (parents and kids alike)! It's cute, thoughtful, and inspires good manners. My 4-year-old has on several occasions acted out the entire story (right down to being a "kooky inspektor" and making his own cookies out of paper), and my 5-year-old quotes the whole thing. This is definitely one of those books that I've recommended to all of my friends for their children.

Preschool Class Learns PLEASE

Customer Rating:
8 Children Under 5 all give this book two hands up! We love the sweet illustrations and the antics of this cookie lover. Learning to say please isn't as easy for some animals as it is for us kids.
