The Joy of Cookies: Cookie Monster's Guide to Life by Cookie Monster
This concept is brilliantly delicious. The tempting treatise begins with a Joy of Cooking title homage, cookie bite cutout, and dedication to Grandma Monster who inspired a love for milk and cookies. Seriously, is there anyone anywhere who doesn't enjoy a cookie? Who can resist this clever ode to a universally-loved treat?
I am a self-avowed cookie baker and cookie lover. After reading this book, it was time to head to the freezer and locate my stash of "emergency cookies." There were some chocolate chip, one half of a giant oatmeal raisin, a few lemon sugar cookies, one salted chocolate caramel, and some raspberry-filled linzer hearts. The makings of a cookie photo shoot. My images are not professional quality. Nonetheless the intriguing possibilities of pairing my home-baked goodies with selected pages inspired me to try and capture the essence of Cookie Monster's Guide to Life.
I want to purchase additional copies of The Joy of Cookies and pair with batches of homemade treats. Note: If you don't have your own favorite recipe, instructions for Sugar Cookies, Double Chocolate Cookies, and Monster Cookies are included within the pages. These cookie/book pairings will be for friends who need a little joy in their lives. Fresh cookies and Cookie Monster's wisdom make the perfect gift for any occasion.
Just like a warm cookie, this book begs to be shared. Grab a cookie (or two), a glass of cold milk, and read this book with a friend. Thanks Cookie Monster, for making my day a bit brighter.

Bonus: In place of the standard "All rights reserved" and copyright statement found in every published work, take a look at Cookie Monster's assertion found on the verso:
"Me the only Cookie Thief in this here town. So no steal cookies! And no steal book about cookies! Or terrible cookie curse fall upon you: Cookie forever taste like dust in mouth. Fate worse than diet."
