The Cookie Loved 'Round the World

“Kids of all ages will be intrigued by the historical facts, as well as the presentation design—a superb blending of content, form, and emotion.” —Peter Niemi, literacy specialist and speech and language pathologist

It all began in a kitchen in the little town of Whitman, Massachusetts. With just a few simple ingredients, Ruth Wakefield, owner of The Toll House Restaurant, created the quintessential American cookie.
Based on real events, The Cookie Loved ’Round the World tells the tale of how, in the midst of the Great Depression, a cookie took hold of the people of Whitman, the state of Massachusetts, and the rest of the country. To this day, the chocolate chip cookie remains a beloved icon.
