Cookie Count

Amazon.com
Yum! This delicious counting book offers much more than the numbers one to ten. Each page is a feast of sweet, sugary treats--coconut kisses, peanut-butter cookies, Linzer hearts, and more are carefully concocted and counted by mouse chefs. The tempting desserts are made all the more delectable by Robert Sabuda's brilliant pop-up constructions that leap from the pages, practically into your salivating mouth. Aesthetes will swoon at the magical beauty of this exquisite book, and the engineers in the crowd will wonder, "How did he do that?" Sabuda's astounding creations may be too delicate for excessive youthful probing, but the sing-song rhyme, counting exercises, and joyous paper explosions of confectionery delights make this a wondrous read-aloud for the sweet-toothed of all ages. (Ages 3 and up)

This talented illustrator just keeps coming up with beautiful Christmas books. Last year it was The 12 Days of Christmas, in 1994 it was A Christmas Alphabet and this year it is Cookie Count. His paper engineering is truly in a class by itself. It this latest pop-up extravaganza, kids count from one to ten and enjoy the wonders that spring up on each of ten spreads. The cookies and accompanying special effects such as stained glass, and silver sparkles will bring "oos and ahs" from the readers. It is a tour de force, and the final spread with the gingerbread house has to be seen to be believed. A delectable treat and one the family can treasure for many years.
