Cookie! (Book 1): Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World

Product Information

There are many people who will tell you to put up with this 'mild' abuse, stay in the nice house, remember others have it worse etc. I wrote this cookbook not just to share my BEST cookie recipes… but to share the sweet SCIENCE of cookie baking. The party soon becomes miserable when, at the show, Beauty feels too shy to go onstage (the show is to celebrate people's birthdays), and Gerry shouts at her in the limousine after all the girls leave. Dilly does neither of those first two things and ends up happy and successful with her own flourishing business. Their mother/daughter relationship is fascinating, actually, because Beauty is brainier than her mother.

Full of energy, loud, flamboyant and going through the everyday struggles of a tween: from having to say goodbye to friends moving town and not being allowed to have a pet, to wanting to save the planet and playing computer games!Beauty tells her mother about the teasing and Dilly decides to learn how to bake cookies, even though she is an awful cook, in the hope that Beauty will be given a new nickname, Cookie (a play on her surname, Cookson). This is one of my favourite Jacqueline Wilson books, and I think Beauty is one of my favourite of her characters too - I find her very relatable, especially her vivid imagination, her awkwardness, and her love of Sara Crewe from 'A Little Princess'. As children, we made snickerdoodles, tiny timmies (pineapple cookies), peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and Christmas cookies.

The condition of the book was far better than I expected, I'd go so far as to say the condition was as new.This sweet and pun-filled story about gaining confidence in yourself and understanding your strengths and learning styles is rather lovely. Double Act won the prestigious Smarties Medal and the Children’s Book Award as well as being highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. The book talks about Beauty's ways of coping with her pressures, her dad's plans of an embarrassing birthday celebration, and her mom's idea of changing Beauty's nickname from "Ugly" to "Cookie. Considering the last book I read by Jacqueline Wilson ( Lily Alone) was merely lukewarm, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this particular offering.

I was really sorry for Beauty, and the way she had to lie about what was actually going on in her house. Just before summer, Beauty is sent to a new school which she is adamant against at first, until she eventually agrees.This sturdy board book is ideal for little hands and should withstand plenty of kitchen experiments too. From chocolate chip cookies to Oreos,” macaroons to lemon bars, Girl Scout cookies” to animal crackers, shortbread to thumbprints,they’re all here in this irresistible guide. Kangen juga dengan buku-bukunya yang banyak mengangkat anak broken home, perceraian, atau bahkan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, meski kadang secara pribadi agak jengah gitu karena kebanyakan pembacanya kan anak-anak (bukan saya maksudnyahh.
