Robert Munsch - Mmm, Cookies!

Sugar. Icing. Raisins. Play clay. Christopher has made the most beautiful cookies anyone has ever seen.

In Mmm, Cookies!, Christopher spots a pile of play clay in the basement and gets to work. Wap, wap, wap — he shapes, decorates, and presents his parents with a stunning batch of homemade cookies. They're touched. They're impressed. They take a bite. YUCK. When he brings the same energy to school, his teacher channels it into something far more edible — and far more delicious.

Why You'll Love It

Inspired by a game Munsch used to play with kids at daycare — "Has anybody made me a cookie today?" — this one has the feel of a story that was born from real, repeated, gleeful laughter. The setup is simple and perfectly executed, and the clay-cookie prank never gets old. A natural for April Fool's Day, but honestly funny any day of the year. Now reissued with a bright new cover.
