The Christmas picture book for today is, Christmas Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday Lessons by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Jane Dyer.
This unique picture book teaches kids lessons through words they might hear during the holiday season. All the words--like anticipation, reciprocate, and selfish, are defined with a twist. They are all tied to Christmas cookies. For example, here is what is says for selfish: Selfish means grabbing the last cookie without asking if anyone might want it.
By tying the word definitions to an enjoyable holiday activity, Amy K. Rosenthal has made lesson learning fun! I loved that Jane Dyer chose to illustrate the book with many different scenes and characters. The book could have focused on one particular child or family, but instead we get a whole host of characters and pictures to enjoy.

Someone just gave my daughter this book for her birthday. It's lovely and a sweet (yummy) read.
