Publisher Description
Can a vegetable and a dessert really be friends? Find out in this sweet story of solidarity!
Cookie and Carrot are a true dynamic duo. Carrot teaches Cookie how to dip (in hummus), and Cookie teaches Carrot how to dunk (in milk). But when Cookie and Carrot's other pals make fun of their friendship, the two start to wonder if different food groups can ever really be friends. Packed with plenty of puns, this satisfying tale of acceptance and forgiveness will leave kids asking for more.
Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Packed with food puns and speech bubbles, this picture bookfable by Perl features warring factions of anthropomorphic vegetables and desserts. Cookie, a big-eyed chocolate chip variety, and Carrot, a similarly large-eyed orange specimen with a fluffy green stem, become fast friends when they meet in the park one day. "Carrot taught Cookie to dip," one page reads, showing the duo stepping into a bowlful of hummus; on the next, "Cookie taught Carrot to dunk" attends an image of the pair holding their breath in a glass of milk. But when each snack's other friends express their derision—and each friend, in turn, fails to defend the other—their friendship takes a sour turn, until Cookie consults Aunt C.C., a slice of carrot cake. Geisel Honoree Fenske offers bright, uncluttered cartoon art in this comedic tale of friendship and tolerance. Ages 4–6.
