The Great Cookie Kerfuffle

A Mathical Book Prize Honor Book!

A friendly little farm breaks into chaos as increasing numbers of farm animals fight over a dropped cookie, until there’s trouble overhead! United against a common enemy, the animals learn that friendship and taking care of each other is more important than winning a fight.

Written by debut picture book author Jessica Shaw and illustrated by Pauline Gregory, this book counts groups of animals from 1 to 10 and back down again and makes a great read-aloud for friendship-themed story times.

Named a Mathical Book Prize Honor Book for PreK in 2024, this title inspires a love of math by connecting with young children’s interests.
