Books like Cookie's Week
By Cindy Ward
For the toddler who's already learned the days of the week and loves finding trouble before it finds them, Cookie's Week turns that mischief into a read-along romp. Playful, breezy, gently chaotic
Two kids stuck inside on a rainy day get an uninvited visitor — a tall cat in a striped hat who promises fun and games while their mother is away.
On a rainy afternoon, a snoozing granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, and a slumbering mouse pile onto one cozy bed — until a wakeful flea bites, and the whole sleepy stack comes tumbling down.
A collection of children's own definitions for everyday things — a hole is to dig, a face is so you can make faces — told in the funny, backwards logic only kids have.
A picture book imagines what would happen if animals wore clothes — a snake loses its clothes, a billy goat eats them, and a walrus stays soggy in a wet suit that never dries.
A parade of baby animals learns words for everyday things — a ball, a dog, a moon — but every single one insists on calling it all MAMA instead.
A cat gets a cupcake and asks for sprinkles to go with it, setting off a chain of requests and small messes that just keeps looping back on itself.
A spunky mouse invites a curious bird inside for a look around, naming every household object they find — while the people of the house grow less and less thrilled about their visitors.
Four small bears sit happily on four small chairs until a big bear arrives, wanting a seat too — can they rearrange themselves to fit one more?
Five little puppies dig a hole under the fence to explore the wide world, but the pokiest, slowest puppy keeps falling behind — and keeps missing out on dessert.
All the letters of the alphabet race each other up a coconut tree, chanting chicka chicka boom boom, until so many pile on that the whole tree tumbles them down.
An alphabet parade of animals acts out each letter with a matching verb — an aardvark admiring, beavers ballooning, cats cleaning — all the way to a zigzagging zebra.
