This book is about a group of 1st graders who attend scouts every Tuesday. But this Tuesday they are especially excited because they get to learn how to make cookies. Mrs. Peters- (their scout leader) teaches them how to make chocolate chip cookies, and tells them they have to go home and make them on their own. All of the children's cookies prove to be a diaster, so Mrs. Peter's helps them all make their own at scouts the next week. Then the exciting news comes that there is a skating party, Molly isn't as good as her friend Racheal is, but she is still excited. They bring their dads along. The skating party is on a Saturday and Molly doesn't want Racheal to think she has big feet, so she rents size 10 skates, which are clearly too small. Molly ends up twisting her ankle, and has to go to the doctor. In the end all of her friends from scouts draw her pictures and make her cards.

Who would I recommend this book to? Any child who wants an easy, silly book.

Any possible problems/conflicts? Some of the kids in the group don't have dad's, this could cause a conflict.

My reaction: I loved these books as a kid, and I still love them now! 4 stars!
