Better Than Chocolate Chip! (Yes, really, there are things that are.) This colourful picture book was created using art and cookies created by the author’s daughter. It includes the values of a smile, of grandmas and of reading (especially the fine print, where the trouble lurks). This story follows bickering siblings Bruno and Minda at the community bake sale. They can’t agree on the perfect chocolate chip cookie . That’s odd, since one of the cookies is too heavy to lift. Another is too big to cut. Why is the perfect cookie so hard to find? Not to spoil an ending, but with the help of their reading skills, their gramma and their hearts they definitely find the cookie with the BIGGEST and the MOST of something that is . . . Better Than Chocolate Chip! Ingredients in this cookie story include: A grandma (who really knows how to pack an intriguing Busy Bag) A chocolate puddle, a lasso and skates (doesn't every book have these?) Two bickering siblings (who finally agree!) Rhyme and repetition Art and cookies from a creative collaborative kid. Two mascots hidden amongst the pages: Kelsey the stuffed dog and Mama the cat who helped their little human enjoy each book she brought to bed. (Search and find!) A gift for grandmas and those who love grandmas! Better Than Chocolate Chip is a gift for grandmas and those who love them! The story was inspired by a real grandmother's day at the fair and the quote: “A smiling face is half the meal.” Expect readers of all ages to share their reasons for loving their grandma after reading this book (even if she doesn't have a Busy Bag like the one in the story)!
