Cookie Monster's Bake Sale: Back to School
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
COOKIE MONSTER'S BAKE SALE: BACK TO SCHOOL is a game show special in which kids compete in making sweet treats to sell at a neighborhood bake sale. It's a competition where everybody wins, no matter the results! Cookie Monster and celebrity host Yvette Nicole Brown guide the teams in their mission to get more books and resources to their local libraries.
Is It Any Good?
This show is a treat for kids who enjoy cooking, reading, or simply having a good time. Cookie Monster's Bake Sale: Back to School is just as fun as its sibling, Cookie Monster's Bake Sale, with extra laughs and giggles. With a larger group of kids and bigger challenges inspired by classic stories, this special will entertain young ones and maybe even inspire them to try some cooking themselves. If you're concerned about Cookie Monster's appetite for sweets, worry not! Kids are only shown eating treats during the final moments of the bake sale. This special is more about doing something for your community than it is about eating.
Talk to Your Kids About ...

Books are full of stories that teach us valuable lessons. What type of story do you enjoy the most? Can you think of something you learned from a book?
The competition in the show is fun but it's not the main goal. Talk about how participating in challenges can be fun and about the importance of celebrating others' victories.
