First sentence: Once upon a time, while Fox was visiting Christmastown, in the Land of Holiday Treats...a little cookie--still warm from the bakery oven--burst out the front door and shouted, "I'm a sweet cookie!"

Premise/plot: Sugar Cookie Man thinks he should be both sweet and fast...but he isn't. Can he learn to be okay with that? Sugar Cookie Man may not realize his purpose, but he does have one.

My thoughts: I liked this one. I have always enjoyed the Gingerbread Man story. This playfully touches on that story...but only a little. It stars a FOX and a COOKIE. The cookie does boast and the fox does give chase. Sugar Cookie Man learns by trial and error that he was baked with a specific purpose in mind. He's not for eating...but for hanging as an ornament on a tree. (If he was an EATING cookie the book would be quite short since the Fox would have gobbled him up by page two or three.) ( )

Cute! ( )

This book greatly depicts how students allow others to affect how they see themselves.

This was a lot of fun. A wolf starts chasing a sugar cookie. At least he thinks it’s a sugar cookie. This makes for a story of interesting friends, but a great story on finding your place. The illustrations are fun, and this would make a great story time book.

Most people see this and think...okay, a retelling of the gingerbread man tale, whoop dee do...aw, but take another look and you'll see, you can't judge a cookie by its icing!

It's a fun holiday tale that reminds us that even those that look a like have their differences, and they are to be CELEBRATED for they make us who (or what) we are. This little cookie may not have been "fast as fast can be", he might not have tasted the best of the best, but he still had a purpose...and a group of friends-in-waiting to welcome him! Great for little ones and beyond.
