Description
In Cookie Time, Kat and Ari make cookies with Grandpa but just can’t wait for them to finish baking. So, they build a time machine to jump forward in time to when the cookies are done. Well, that is the plan, but things keep going wrong. They end up in the future after all the cookies are eaten, then jump to the past when they were little children having the perfect day baking with Grandpa. When they try again, they end up in a distant, futuristic time with cookies but without Grandpa. Finally, they return to where they started. While waiting for the cookies to finish, Kat and Ari enjoyed the time outside with Grandpa. Soon, the cookies are done and prove worth the wait.
This book is a wonderfully imaginative romp that may well spur some young imaginations to make their own time machines. It also recognizes the preciousness of quiet moments doing simple things like baking cookies with a grandparent. Indeed, Cookie Time would make a great choice to read while a batch of homemade cookies bake.
