小饼干的大道理(Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons)-New York Times Best Seller!

《小饼干的大道理》从貌似平凡的制作和品尝小饼干的事例引发开来,通过对做饼干、烤饼干、分享饼干等有关饼干的小事件的解释,告诉孩子什么是合作、耐心、自豪、谦虚、尊敬、信任、公平、同情心、大方、乐观、有礼貌、诚实、幸福、智慧……如耐心的意思的等啊等,一直等到饼干烤得喷喷香;自豪的意思是下巴抬得高高的,我就是喜欢自己亲手烤出来的饼干;谦虚的意思是即使你知道自己做的饼干最好吃,也不到处跟别人炫耀;尊敬的意思是饼干烤好了,第一块先给奶奶尝尝……看完本书,家长和孩子都会觉得如沐春风:原来小小饼干中,也蕴涵着大大的人生哲理呢。

Simplified Chinese edition of COOKIES: Bite-Size Life Lessons by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Jane Dyer, Amy Rosenthal utilizes the process of making cookies to share very important life values such as cooperation, patience, regret, politeness, respect, loyalty...

Each concept is defined and coupled with an appropriate illustration. For example, "Cooperate means, 'How about you add the chips while I stir?'" Similarly articulated ideas follow along as the cookies are baked, offered around, dropped, shared, and eaten, demonstrating compassion, optimism, pessimism, trustworthiness, honesty, open-mindedness, and wisdom. Including the everyday language that goes along with each idea in the text, Rosenthal effectively conveys her definition of each and provides kids with the tools they need to put these lessons to use in their day-to-day lives, when they need to draw on their own strength to face up to things, like honesty (i.e., confessing that I'm actually the one that took the cookie) and courage (i.e., it was hard to admit I took the cookie, but I did it).
