Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up

Lift the flaps and up pop a mouse, a kitty, a puppy, and others who bring to life this popular preschool rhyme. Created by David Carter, bestselling author, illustrator, and paper engineer.

Who Took the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?
Lift the cookie jar flap and out pops a mouse. "Who, me?" he says. "Couldn't be."

This familiar play song has a special twist: ingenious pop-ups and lift-up flaps by paper-engineer extraordinaire David Carter. Children will love opening each cookie jar to discover a dog, a cat, an owl, and others. A pop-up surprise in the end reveals that they all took the cookies! And as an extra fun activity, children are invited to go back and find which cookie each animal took.

My three year old grandson likes this book so much! He enjoys the repitition and rhythm of the verse, "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?" etc.etc.

The thing I like is that each page has a lift up cookie jar with pop-up beneath it. It's easy for chubby little fingers to lift the piece without damaging the book.

As a preschool teacher, my students have enjoyed this book for years. In the classroom, I would first read the book to them, and as a lesson plan, we would frost,and decorate cookies, of course the finish project was always a joy to eat. I would recommend this book to other teachers, to use as a lesson plan in their classrooms.
