Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons is a 2006 picture book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal intended to communicate life skills. ^[1] Jane Dyer, who had previously illustrated Mem Fox's Time for Bed , illustrated Cookies with watercolor paintings of scenes such as picnics and old-fashioned kitchens. ^[2] The book uses situations relating to cookies as a pretext for defining a variety of traits. ^[3] Cookies is appropriate for children ages 4 to 8. ^[4] The book made The New York Times Best Seller list. ^[5] In The Winners! Handbook: A Closer Look at Judy Freeman's Top-rated Children's Books of 2006, Freeman describes Cookies as "old-fashioned sweet, without being cloying or didactic". ^[6] In 2008, Rosenthal and Dyer released a sequel called Christmas Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday Lessons. ^[7]
