Our Review

This simple yet effective picture book follows a mischievous black cat named Cookie through each day of the week, with one clear sentence per page detailing his daily escapades. The large, easy-to-read text and bright watercolor illustrations create an accessible reading experience that perfectly supports early literacy development. Young readers will delight in predicting the pattern of trouble Cookie gets into, from knocking over a plant on Monday to falling in the toilet on Tuesday.

What makes this book stand out is how seamlessly it combines days-of-the-week learning with a genuinely engaging narrative about a curious cat's antics. The cause-and-effect structure of Cookie's misadventures provides just enough humor and anticipation to keep toddlers fully invested in the reading experience. This is an ideal first read-aloud for preschoolers beginning to recognize patterns in stories and calendars, making foundational concepts feel like pure entertainment.
