How the Cookie Crumbled written and illustrated by Gilbert Ford*

 The True (and Not-So-True) Stories of the Invention of the Chocolate Chip Cookie

Mr. Ford evaluates the three stories that surround Ruth Wakefield's "invention" of the chocolate chip cookie and guides the reader to a logical conclusion. Readers will learn about Mrs. Wakefield's childhood, her education and career pursuits. Very interesting!!

Since Mr. Ford is also the illustrator of this book, his illustrations greatly enhance the story. He uses clever layouts and different illustration styles to distinguish his various focuses.

I would like to read his book The Marvelous Thing That Came from a Spring.

Of course, Mrs. Wakefield's recipe is included at the back! 

*Highly recommend.
