The Way the Cookie Crumbled: And Other Positively Preposterous Poems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781912936212)

The Way the Cookie Crumbled (2025 Second Edition)

Welcome to a world where sheep post selfies, robots dream of a better life, and a cookie army invades a town. This revised and expanded edition of the original poetry collection adds three new tales to the original madcap menagerie, some fishy limericks, and more!

Brought to life with playful illustrations that capture every giggle-worthy moment, this collection of rhyming verse and poems answer life's pressing questions, such as:

• What happens when your uncle sends you a few too many sheep?
• Can a flea successfully take a tea bath? (Spoiler: nope!)
• What would a moth do with super powers?
• What do vegetables REALLY think about their roles in life?
• Is that ACTUALLY an exchange student, or just an armadillo in sunglasses?

Perfect for reading aloud, these tales bounce from the bottom of a teacup to the far reaches of space, each one packed with humor, heart, and the occasional rogue cookie. The charming illustrations bring every adventure to life, from a toad's stubborn stance to the moment three lions figure out how to drive a jeep.

Ideal for:

• Young readers ages 7-12
• Bedtime story enthusiasts
• Anyone who's ever wondered if their vegetables are plotting something
• Parents who enjoy reading stories that make them laugh too
• Teachers looking for engaging read-aloud material
