From Publishers Weekly
On Monday, Cookiea catfalls into the toilet. "There was water everywhere!" On Tuesday, she knocks a plant off the windowsill. "There was water everywhere!" And so Cookie undergoes a week of disasters that dePaola illustrates with his usual skill, so that even the garbage Cookie strews over the floor looks great. Four scrapes later, the text ends with "Tomorrow is Sunday. Maybe Cookie will rest." But Cookie, half-asleep on the rug, already has one eye on a bumblebee. This is a perfect choice for very young children, and extra-large print makes it even more accessible. Part of the fun of the illustrations is what is barely glimpsed: a tail extending from behind a curtain, very wet haunches exiting the bathroom or the same tail drifting over muddy footprints through the flower pots. Cookie appears in only three full-body shots throughout the book; the rest of the time she is almost out of the frame of her most recent disaster. Lively pastels with plenty of white offset the black cat's mischief. Ages 1-6.

Preschooler Tested!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cookie's Week (Paperback)
In the great cookie of life, this book is the chocolate chips! I love this book so much. I've been a preschool teacher for years and this story is always a hit with the children. The opening line, "On Monday Cookie fell in the toilet" appeals to a child's funny bone...and they adore the antics of this fun and frisky feline! It's the cat's meow!

This review is from: Cookie's Week (Paperback)
My three year old loved every page. This is one they will be mimick reading quickly for its shortness, but that helps them with their interest in real reading.

This review is from: Cookie's Week (Paperback)
Cookie's Week is a great Pre-school or Kindergarten book! Your little ones will be on the edge of their seats wondering what Cookie will do next. Not only will they learn the days of the week and a pattern, but after a couple of readings, they'll be reading it to you! Cookie is just the kind of cat every Kindergarter should have!
