This was a cute book for beginning readers. Gus and Grandpa and the Christmas Cookies by Claudia Mills is a heartwarming tale of a boy and his grandpa who bake some cookies at Christmas time, then are gifted with more and more cookies from the neighbors.Gus and his grandpa decide they will take all the extra cookies to the man ringing the bell outside the store to give to all the needy and hungry children.
This book is excellent for the holidays and is divided into very simple and short chapters to encourage young readers. The only difficulty a new reader would have is the way the sentences are broken up to make the lines look short. I too was stumbling through some of the lines as I read them out loud. This book goes great with baking Christmas cookies.
