One Cookie, One Wish: A Choose-Your-Path Adventure for Ages 6-8 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258881595)

What if your child's next wish came true - word for word, exactly as she said it?

Nora is seven. Mom has just stepped out to the garage for twenty whole minutes. On the top shelf of the pantry - a shelf Nora has never quite been able to reach before - sits a dusty tin jar with a message looping across the lid in Grandma's handwriting: ONE COOKIE. ONE WISH. EXACTLY AS YOU SAY IT. Nora eats the first cookie and whispers that she wishes her cat, Biscuit, could talk. Biscuit blinks once. "FINALLY," he says - and immediately starts narrating his tail, his strong opinions on tuna, and the kettle being rude. The kettle starts answering back, in pink bubbles.

One Cookie, One Wish is a choose-your-own-path story for readers ages 6-8, where every wish is yours to spend. Twelve cookies. Twenty minutes on the microwave clock. Two true endings hidden somewhere inside the house. Plenty of wrong turns waiting too - and a vain talking cat who absolutely refuses to keep things simple.

Perfect for the child who loves exact words and tricky riddles - and the parent who wants a cozy bedtime story about thinking before you speak that never sounds like a lesson.

Great for: early independent readers - kids who love wordplay and puzzles - cozy read-alouds with a talking-cat co-pilot
