Prepare to fall absolutely in love with this irresistible cookie, crumbly chocolate chips and all.

OH NO! Barbra the cactus won’t stop playing her recorder, the yummy strawberry toothpaste has run out, and now – to top it all off – Cookie has to have his hair cut!

This wildly inventive, interactive, laugh-out-loud tale brings Laura Dockrill's one-of-a-kind voice and Maria Karipidou's hilarious illustrations to the Walker list.

“The book superbly evokes the roots of a child’s anger – insecurity, frustration, feeling unheard – and the realisation that the reader will listen, even when the Cookie is “a meanie moody moany mongoose”. ~The Guardian

“With playful illustrations by Maria Karipidou, Dockrill’s debut picture book is bright and entertaining and delivers an important message.” ~Mail on Sunday

“[…] a perfect book for talking about emotions, and has a lovely message about sticking around for your friends and loved ones, no matter how moody they are.” ~BookTrust
