The Great Cookie Kerfuffle

Age range: 3 to 6

A friendly little farm breaks into chaos as increasing numbers of farm animals fight over a dropped cookie, until they untie together against trouble from overhead.

United against a common enemy, the animals learn that friendship and taking care of each other is more important than winning a fight.

Written by debut picture book author Jessica Shaw and illustrated by Pauline Gregory, this book offers counting groups of animals from 1 to 10 and back down again, and it makes a great read-aloud for friendship-themed story times.
