Some food related books

I have tons of draft posts of books we enjoyed from weeks back.  Here's two such books that Bear really did not want to return.

Mmm, Cookies! by Robert Munsch is a very funny story about a little boy who tricks everyone into eating play clay cookies and how his teacher cures him of this.  Bear has always loved Robert Munsch and this one quickly got addded to her favorites.  (Of course, how could it not since it is about cookies!)
Pancakes for Breakfast by Tomie dePaola a wordless story about a woman who wants to make pancakes but nothing seems to go right.  I don't usually like wordless stories.  Bear picked this one out, but I have to say I quite enjoyed it and didn't mind retelling it over and over.

I've also linked up at Little Sprout Books.

    I'm usually that way about wordless stories too, but I've found a few recently that I've really liked.

    Thanks for joining WMCIR! I am so-so on Munsch, because his characters tend to misbehave too much. Unfortunately, Anna is completely against wordless stories since she started reading - the only one that kind of worked here is Anno's Counting Book.

    Thanks for linking up at Feed Me Books Friday! We have enjoyed the pancake story at our house too. I try to encourage B to make up his own story for the pictures, but he usually prefers mine. The cookie story sounds pretty funny, we'll have to look for it at our library!
