What is The Doorbell Rang about?

Victoria and Sam are delighted when Ma makes a large plate of delicious cookies for tea. There seems to be plenty for everyone, but each time the doorbell rings, more hungry visitors arrive. The children must share the cookies again and again, watching their portions grow smaller with every new guest. Will there be any treats left if the doorbell rings once more? This funny, warm-hearted story introduces sharing, simple division and the unexpected joys of welcoming friends and family.
