When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, Bob is something of an expert. Known for his jolly laugh, his love for family and friends, and his joy of fishing, what Bob is most famous for is his recipe for making perfectly delicious chocolate chip cookies. Deciding it’s high time to follow his dream of opening a bakery, Bob goes to work building and baking. But when he starts to mix the ingredients for his legendary cookies, he suddenly wonders whether they’re actually as good as everyone says. What if his friends and family are just being nice? What if his recipe isn’t so special after all? In the final hours before his grand opening, Bob tries a different technique, but when the cookies aren’t as tasty, he’s forced to make a tough decision. With minutes to spare, will Bob choose to trust himself and bake his original recipe or skip the chocolate chip cookies altogether? Charmingly illustrated, Bob the Baker reminds kids of how important it is to believe in yourself—and shares Bob’s winning recipe with suggestions of how to make it your own.
