Picture Book: The Doorbell Rang
Author & Illustrator: Pat Hutchins
Summary: A mom makes cookies for her children. As they are discussing how to divide them equally, neighbors come by and are invited in to share the cookies so the division problem changes. This happens repeatedly. Meanwhile, they remember that “No one makes cookies like Grandma.” Just after too many guests arrive to allow for a cookie a piece, Grandma shows up with a new batch of cookies.
Hanna’s Comments: This is such a fun story of hospitality, generosity, and mathematical division! And you have the valuable component of a grandmother’s gift being celebrated and shared.
