About The Book:
The Cookie Thief by Connecticut child educator Frances Gilbert is a charming, simple and engaging story about a family who is hit by a cookie thief.
Thomas is visiting Granny’s house when he hears a patter, a swoop and a rush and oh no. “Cookie thief! Cookie thief,” Grandma shrieks.
Cookies are disappearing, the whole family is in a state of shock. There are no more cookies to be had. People take precautions and start hiding them, “No cookie thief is getting my cookies!” they say. Even the animals are put to work and placed on guard. There are no more cookies to be found anywhere.
Thomas’ wise grown up friend Kristina helps him make a plan to track down the cookie thief.
He looks everywhere. Who could it be? Will he find the cookie thief?
Our Thoughts:
In the Mom vs the Boys household, I always have the cookie thief suspects narrowed down to 3. From there I simply look at hands and faces for signs of chocolate and crumbs. Easy to solve when an expert tracker like mom is on the case! In fact just last week when we made cookies, a ball of dough was found missing before the sheet even made it’s way into the oven!!! So yes, the boys and I did very much enjoy both the story and the wonderful illustrations on The Cookie Thief. We thought they picked some odd and random favourites for the cookies, not the typical chocolate chip anyways. Definitely a fun read for both mom and the boys!
