I found this to be a very fast read and entertaining for my daughter. I was surprised at how much she liked this story. I wasn't expecting her to learn manners from this book though. While the story is really basic, all I have to say is "How would Alfie ask for that?" if she's being a little too demanding. She immediately says "May I please have a ______?" She often had me read it to her 5-6 times per night. This is one of the first books she learned to read on her own.
This is a fantastic book! We just received May I Please Have A Cookie a few days ago and we've already read it so many times that we've practically got it memorized! The story teaches a valuable lesson and the illustrations are terrific. My six-year-old laughs every time he sees the picture where Alfie's pretend moustache falls off!
My almost 4 year old son loves this book! We read it every day; sometimes 2, 3, or 4 times. At first he didn't understand the "lesson". But, after a few times reading it, he did grasp the concept of saying "please". He has told me, several times, that this is his favorite book.A brief summary of the book: Alfie loves cookies and wants one of the cookies Mommy just baked. Using several "creative" methods, Alfie tries unsuccessfully to get a the cookies. Then, with Mommy's help, he learns the best (easiest?) way of all to get to the cookies is to say "Please").Cute, colorful pictures, simple wording, easy concept to understand (even for a 3 and a half year old.
We received this book last year and my 6 year old son just loves it! We've read it many times and it's still fun. "May I Please Have A Cookie?" teaches your child to remember to say please and thank you in a friendly and fun manner. My 3 year old loves listening, looking at the pictures and of course, pointing out the cookies!
I love this book because the mom is smart. She knows that if she explains everything to her little alligator, he won't really learn. So she allows him to go through a tough time while he figures out for himself the right thing to do. In the end she helps him prove to himself that he is as smart as she knows he is.
I purchased this book as part of The Family Giving Tree back-to-school drive. I volunteered to purchase and assemble two K-1 backpacks and the organization asked us to include a "beginning reader" book for the children.Seeing this book, I fell in love with the story of a young gator who really wants a cookie and learns how to ask for one PROPERLY. The story conveys the importance for patience and asking for things with grace.This book was part of a buy 3, get 1 free deal which was great-- I ended up donating the remaining 2 books to my colleagues who were also assembling backpacks.Overall, this is a good book that encourages the importance of good manners while staying funny and interesting.
This book has the cutest animated alligator as its star. The easy reader format is great because it allows me to tell my own story, add my own voices, and allows my kids to play along.
Every parent who reads this will see their own child in Alfie. Children will adore the hilarious antics that Alfie goes throughto get himself a cookie. The story teaches a valuable lesson while still being very entertaining. The expressive illustrations areoutstanding. Our grandchildren loved this book
