About This Book
This beloved picture book by Pat Hutchins introduces young readers, ages 3-7, to the concepts of sharing and simple division in a delightful, accessible way. As Ma bakes a batch of wonderful cookies, the doorbell keeps ringing, bringing more and more children to share the treat. The story gently illustrates how the children must re-divide the cookies each time new guests arrive, making it a fantastic tool for early math concepts and social-emotional learning about generosity and hospitality.
Each time the doorbell rings, there are more people who have come to share Ma's wonderful cookies.
