Illustrated by
Jane Dyer.
This holiday picture book delivers a sweet message, both literally and figuratively. On each page or spread, a vocabulary word is defined using examples related to Christmas cookies: "APPRECIATIVE means, Thank you so much for taking the time to bake with me." Gentle, old-fashioned-looking illustrations show children and well-dressed animals baking together. A recipe for Christmas cookies appears at the end.
