      • bioText:

        Pat Hutchins, one of seven children, was born in Yorkshire, England, and grew up in the surrounding countryside, which she still loves. At a very early age she knew that she wanted to be an artist and was encouraged by an elderly couple who would give her a chocolate bar for each picture she drew. A local art school offered her a scholarship and she studied there for three years, continuing her training at Leeds College of Art, where she specialized in illustration. Her career in the children's book field began with the highly acclaimed Rosie's Walk, a 1968 ALA Notable Book. Since then she has written five novels and created more than twenty-five picture books. She was awarded England's prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 1974 for The Wind Blew. Pat Hutchins lives with her husband in London, England.

        May 12, 1986
        Victoria and Sam are just sitting down to a plateful of Ma's cookies when the doorbell rings, and two of their friends arrive to share the feast. The doorbell rings again and again and each time the number of cookies per person dwindles until at last there is only one cookie per person and . . . the doorbell rings again! (Luckily, it's Grandma arriving with reinforcements.) Hutchins's quirky illustrations nicely depict her suspenseful tale; the characters have an unusually authentic feeling and convey a strong sense of family. The book is, of course, a mini-lesson in short division. But don't tell any kidsthe arithmetic is so subtly incorporated into the story that they need never know it's there.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: This classic story, which helps young children visualize the concept of division through the sharing of cookies with a crowd, is always enjoyed by emerging readers for its simple and repetitive text. Here, with Suzanne Toren's no-nonsense narration, we hear those patterns and repetitions even more clearly. Toren also does an incredible job with the characters of the children, who help to express the disappointment, then annoyance, that each child feels as more kids arrive, dividing the cookies even further. Having the doorbell for the page-turning signal adds a realistic touch. A good choice for children learning to read. W.L.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

        October 23, 1989
        Ma's cookies prove irresistible not only to her offspring but to their many friends; the treats dwindle at an alarming rate with each new arrival. PW praised ``Hutchins's quirky illustrations,'' which ``nicely depict her suspenseful tale.'' Ages 4-8.
