The Doorbell Rang Paperback – Picture Book, October 26, 1989

Great book! My pre k children love this book. The pictures are nice. The storyline etc.

FABULOUS Big book that I use often. Delighted to find it!

This is a delightful book. My two and four year old granddaughters just love it! They were taken by the children's generosity in sharing their cookies with a seemingly unending line of friends and relatives. It is great that the ending event reinforces this spirit of generosity. In addition to the idea of sharing, children can also think about and learn a little basic arithmetic. The illustrations are cheerful, colorful, and speak to diversity among people. Much food for thought in this little gem.

This is a fun book and very active. We used fake cookies from our kitchen center and divided the cookies up on plates. As the door bell rang we had to keep dividing up the cookies. The kids loved acting it out and thinking how to divide the cookies. It is one of those wonderful books where the kids are learning story problems and do not even know they are working and learning.

This book is the best! Not only does it foster mathematical thinking in children, but it promotes Grandma as the best cookie maker! If I don’t have a “enornous tray of cookies” in hand when I go over to my 3 year old grandson’s house, I make sure that I knock. That doorbell means cookies!

Perfect for introducing division in an elementary classroom. I read it through once, while the students listen. During the second reading, they begin drawing the division problems as they appear. They work together to complete the pictures and show the correct algorithms.

I used this books to introduce division in my classroom. I will use it again when we get to fractions.

I purchased this book to use in my 3rd grade math classroom. The students love this book, and it makes the concept of division much more understandable for students. For our lesson, I pass out ziploc bags of "Cookie Crisp" to each student and we do hands-on activities to divide/share the cookies in groups and/or rows.
